Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from I. The Auchinsaugh Covenant, With the Acknowledgment of Sins, and Engagement to Duties; II. Short Account of Old Dissenters; III. Explanation and Defence of the Terms of Communion of the Reformed Presbyterian Church
The nation, weary of the tyranny and Oppression of James VIL, agreed to dismiss him from the throne, and to invite William and Mary, Prince and Princess of Orange, to come over and assume the reins of government in these kingdoms. At their accession, the nations did not improve the opportunity afforded them, to have church and state settled according to the Word of God, and to the reforming laws of the land; but loft the covenants and work of reformation buried under the infamous Act Recissory. Our renowned ancestors entered their public protestation against said settlement, both civil and ecclesiastic, at the market cross of Sanquhar, because the king was not a professor of the true religion - did not take the covenants, ao cording to the established law of the nation - Was engaged by his coronation oath to maintain Prelacy inviolable, to the latest posterity, contrary to the second commandment and Solemn League and Covenant - was vested with a sinful headship over the church, in being declared head over all persons and causes, civil and ecclesiastical - and established two forms of religion, as agreeable to the inclination of the people, though in direct opposition to one another, without any regard to the Holy Scriptures, as the alone rule of either - because many of the constituent members of the Convention of Estates had an active hand in murdering the precious saints of God during the late persecution -and because the Parliament of Scotland read.
