Excerpt from A Digest of the Acts of the Supreme Judicatory of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America: Compiled From the Records of the Original Synod of New York and Philadelphia, and of the General Assembly From Its Organization; Arranged to Illustrate the Constitutional Rules of the Church The Adopting Act of 1729 is inserted; the cases of prosecution for errors of doctrine are given at length, with whatever has a bearing on the momentous concern of the faith of God's elect. The work has required much labour, thought, and patience. Frequent and careful reviews of the Minutes and Records of proceedings, stretching almost through a century and a half, have secured according to the original design, all such matters as seem to be' of permanent authority and interest. Simplicity of plan, accuracy of detail, fulness in all things necessary, and convenience in use, have been the steady aim in the compilation. The Presbyterian Board of Publication, in presenting this new Digest to the churches, as a matter of justice state, that the preparation of it was entrusted to the Rev. Richard Webster, of Mauch Chunk, Pa., who has expended much time and labour in bringing it to its present degree of perfection.
