Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lives of Alexander Henderson and James Guthrie: With Specimens of Their Writings
A concern about personal religion, and the salva tion of the souls of men, has Often led to a concern about the prerogatives of the King of Zion, as con nected with the external government of his Church. This was exemplified in Mr Henderson. He began to look upon the courses of the prevailing party in the Church of Scotland with a different eye from what he had done formerly, when he was guided by a worldly spirit, and by views of ambition. Their tendency he perceived to be injurious to the interests of practical religion. He, however, judged it proper to give the existing controversy a. Deliberate investi gation, the result of which was, that he found Epis copacy to be equally unauthorised by the Word of God, and inconsistent with the reformed constitution of the Church of Scotland.
