Excerpt from Letters to Marcus Dods, D.DI have very seriously considered whether I might not, in this edition, suppress the Prefatory Note, and it would have given me pleasure to find that to be my duty. But so long as the extract from the College Committee's Special Report on Professor Smith's case, on which my Prefatory Note is founded (page abides among our Church documents, without a word Of disapprobation on the part of the Assembly or the Church, I cannot possibly cease to bear resolute witness against it. It is a very serious thing for any Committee Of this Church to take it upon them to tell us what is the technical ground in the Confession that must regulate ecclesiastical procedure, even though they should set it forth correctly. The Courts Of the Church will judge of that for themselves, on each occurrent case, as providence may require. It is still more serious when they set it forth incorrectly, and with such trenching on the perfection Of our confessional relation to the great doctrine Of Inspiration as I have felt it my duty to point out. There are names on that Committee for which I have such regard, that I am entitled to the sympathy of my brethren, instead Of any breath Of blame, for having undertaken the ungrateful duty. It was more imperatively called for, than, perhaps even yet, has become quite apparent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
