Excerpt from A Vindication of the Presbyterian Form of Church-Government: As Professed in the Standards of the Church of Scotland; In Reply to the Animadversions of the Ancient and Modern Independents; In a Series of Letters

That the author, in every instance, should accu rately have stated the sentiments of Independents, is what he by no means pretends. As each of their congregations is independent of the rest, it is posed-l ble that there may be as many creeds ahd constitu tions among them as there are churches on the earth, But to think of representing accurately the sentiments. Of all of them, amidst this possible variety, would certainly be a vain and ridiculous idea, especially as most of them account it a sin to write and publish these creeds to the world. He is conscious however, that he has not wilfully, in any instance, mis-stated their views; and if 'those, Whose Opinions are here examined, can point out any case in, which he has not fairly exhibited them, he will most readily cor rect it.
