Hist. P. 307, 308, 310. Hetherington, Hist of Ch. Of Scot. , p. 340. WESTMINSTER ASSEMBLY. 69 parliament had established the Presbyterian faith and discipline, it was consistently required to patronize it alone. The error was in the principle acted upon, which, however, all avouched as correct, and not in the conclusion deduced from it, and which was repro- bated only by the party it excluded. The Assembly having been constituted the advisory council of the parliament, and having been led to th...e conclusion that the Presbyterian system was by divine right, were of necessity impelled to seek the recognition of that divine right oa the part of the parliament. But there was anotlier privilege and right which they claimed for the church, and that was her spirit- ual independence, in all ecclesiastical matters, upon all civil authority whatsoever. This doctrine has ever been dear to Scottish Presbyterians. The history of that country for nearly a century and a half after the overthrow of Popery, presents a series of struggles unexampled in severity and number, to protect and to rescue it from Erastian encroachments.
