Excerpt from Additional Answer to the Libel: With Some Account of the Evidence That Parts of the Pentateuchal Law Are Later Than the Time of Moses The Presbytery has sustained my defence against the first and gravest charge, but, by the vote of 14th March, my objections to the competency of the second alternative were overborne, and it has been found, by a majority of voices, that in the opinion of the Presbytery an othee-bearer, who has been acquitted of the charge of publishing Opinions which contradict or are opposed to doctrines set forth in the Scrip tures and the Confession of Faith, may be tried on the alternative charge of publishing opinions which are in them selves of a dangerous and unsettling tendency in their bearing on the doctrines, which they cannot be shown to contradict. Appeals have been taken against this finding, but mean time the Presbytery proceeds to apply its abstract decision, and it falls to be considered whether the charge which has been found relevant in the abstract can, under the Libel, be brought home to me.
