Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters to Presbyterians, on the Present Crisis in the Presbyterian Church in the United States
The pious founders of these churches were warm ly attached to the Westminster Confession of Faith, and to the Presbyterian form of ecclesiastical go vernment. To these they had been accustomed from their youth, and deemed them important to the edi fication of the body of Christ. On these principles they associated; and to sustain this scriptural system, they virtually pledged themselves to one another and to the church of God. They began to form congre gations on this plan toward the close of the seven teenth century; and in the year 1704, they seem to have constituted the first judicatory, under the name of the Presbytery of Philadelphia.
