Excerpt from The Ruling Eldership of the Christian Church In the former Editions of this Volume, I discussed with some comprehensiveness the subject of ecclesiastical polity. In the present Edition that part is omitted, because I design, to merge the substance of it in a Reply to the Recent Defences of Independency by Drs Wardlaw and Davidson. I have been the more willing to follow this course, that I have had counsels from various quarters to make this Treatise more thoroughly practical in its character, and hence more apprehensible and acceptable to the majority of readers. In place of the general disquisition on church government, I have introduced here a short statement of the proof for the particular office of which I delineate the duties. For the sake of brevity, I omit former Prefaces and all extraneous matter - making all considerations bend to the one object of furnishing a very cheap and very portable directory for Elders.
