A Vindication of the Government of New England Churches: And the Churches Quarrel Espoused; Or a Reply to Certain Proposals (Classic Reprint)

In issuing a new edition of Rev. John Wise s Vindication of the Government of the New England Churches, and The Churches Quarrel Espoused, or Reply to certain proposals, the Congregational Board of Publication would express their high appreciation of the merit of these articles, and of the salutary influence they have exerted upon the order and prosperity of the churches for raore Jaiiacentury past. The views here expressed of the liberty and independence of the churches, their rights and discipline (except what he says of ruling elders), are the views which have generally been adootsd.. by the churches from their first organization. As we said of Bellamy, Hopkins, Robinson, and others, We do not abridge, or alter the phraseology, but leave the author to express his own views in his own way, that the reader may have the sentiments of the writer, his style, and in some measure a knowledge of the times in which he lived. The late Hon. Zachariah.
