Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Presbyterian Letters Addressed to Bishop Skinner of Aberdeen: On His Vindication of Primitive Truth and Order; To Which Is Prefixed a Preliminary Discourse on the Present State of the Controversy Concerning Ecclesiastical Government The most violent adversaries of Presbytery, in the present times, are the Scotch Episcopalians and the Independents. These two parties seem to be at war with each other; for, like the Jews and Samaritans two thousand years ago, each uses the name of the other as a term of reproach. - But whatever mutual dislike they may appear to entertain, they are, in reality, faithful allies. In their polemical writings, they both pursue the same grand object with equal ardor, I mean, the degradation, in the public opinion, of the established religion of the country; and for the accomplishment of this laudable object, the very same means are employed by both. Both lay claim to a jus divinum in favour of their respective forms of ecclesiastical polity, to the entire exclusion of Presbytery; and both found their claim on the scriptures, and the writings of the Christian Fathers.
