Sinopsis
Excerpt from Two Letters in Reply to Certain Publications of the Rev. Dr. Samuel Miller
Dr. M. Seems to have intended that his readers should infer that Dr. Barrow did not himself believe in the apostolic'origin of'episcopacy Let the following quotations from the same work bear witness with what justice such an opinion can be formed. Of the distinction between bishops and the inferior clergy, 'there was never in ancient times made any question, nor did it seem disputable in the church, except to one malcontent, Aerias -it standeth upon very firm and clear grounds, upon the reason of the case, upon the testimony of Holy Scripture, upon gen eral tradition, and unquestionable monuments of antiquity, upon the common judgment and practice of the greatest saints, persons most te nowned for wisdom and piety in the church. - The Holy Scripture doth plainly enough countenance this distinction; for therein we have repte sented one angel presiding over several presbyters; therein we find epis copal ordination and jurisdiction exercised; we have one bishop consti tuting presbyters in divers cities of his diocese. Etc.

Excerpt from Two Letters in Reply to Certain Publications of the Rev. Dr. Samuel Miller
Your paper purports to be conducted by an association of gentlemen: as I am, however, wholly ignorant as to who are the individual members of that association, no part of these strictures is to be taken with a personal application.
In the numbers of the American Presbyterian for May 21, 28, and June 4th, under the head of Religious, are several columns of matter purporting to be part of a work by Samuel Miller, D. D., on the truly primitive and apostolical constitution of the Church of Christ. The 4th chapter, which you profess to extract, is stated to be entitled "on the government of the Presbyterian Church"
In our happy country, every man is perfectly free to hold and maintain any principles which may seem to him to be right, provided he concedes to others the same privilege, and does not disturb them in the peaceful exercise of their own opinions. So far, therefore, as Dr. Miller, and you gentlemen, have chosen to state and vindicate your own opinions in relation to the ecclesiastical principles which prevail in your own church, instead of having any censure to bestow upon you, I would rather commend your zeal: Those opinions, on any subject, must have small claim to public and general adoption, which those who hold them fear to bring to light.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the beliefs and arguments presented by Samuel Miller, a Professor of Ecclesiastical History, in opposition to the concept of Episcopacy, the hierarchical structure of the church with bishops, priests, and deacons. The author refutes Millers assertions that there is no scriptural support for Episcopacy. The author shows that from the earliest days of the church there have been higher ranks of clergy, including apostles, elders or bishops, and deacons, and that the concept of apostolic succession was held by the earliest church leaders. This book is a valuable resource for those studying the history and structure of the early church and its relevance to the modern church. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331211983_0
