Excerpt from Answer to the Form of Libel: Now Before the Free Church Presbytery of AberdeenThus, in the first part of the major, I am charged with denying the infallibility and authority of Scripture, in the second part of the major, and under the first head, I am charged with holding a particular View of the institution of the Aaronic priesthood, which is said to infer denial of the in fallibility of Scripture, and m the corresponding head of the minor, I find the citations from my writings which are sup posed to prove that I hold the opinion in question. To fol low this division through all the particulars of so complex a charge would render my defence extremely cumbrous, and bury the main points at issue under the mass of details. I shall, therefore, follow the ordinary precedent of first dis cussing the statement of the offences with which I am charged, and then taking together the allegations of fact in the major and the corresponding quotations in the minor. I shall thus follow the natural procedure known to all law, considering, first, whether I am charged with a real offence under the law of the Church, and, then, whether the facts alleged against me are sufficient to constitute that offence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
