Description

Excerpt from Genealogy of the McKinstry Family: With a Preliminary Essay on the Scotch-Irish Immigrations to America Independeney or Congregationalism was not introduced into England until 1610. But Puritanism, which embraces both orders of dissenters, had its origin in Elizabeth's time, in her attempts to cause subscriptions to be made to the liturgy. Ceremonies, and discipline of the Church, in 1504. Those who refused subscription and preferred a simple worship, were called Puritans by way of reproach. Ltu the doctrines of Arminius began to prevail in the English church, the Puritans adhered to the system of Calvin, and were defined to be men of severe morals, alvinists in doctrine, and non-conformists to the ceremonies and discipline of the Church. The first Presbyterian church was established in England, near London, in 1577, by a few scattered brethren; and both these branches of dissenters, Independents and Presbyterians, made at first but slow progress and although agreeing in doctrine, they differed from each other on the form of government as widely as they b0th did from Episcopacy. The Independents or Congregational brethren were small in number in the Westminster Assembly, although they increased prodigiously after wards under Cromwell. They made a bold stand against the proceedings of the high Presbyterians. They maintained that every particular con gregation of Christians has an entire and complete power of jurisdiction ever its members, to be exercised by the elders thereof within itself. They add, this they are sure must have been the form of government in the primitive church. - Nea/, 3, 157. The. System of the Independents was attacked by the rigid Presbyte rians with great severity, as tending to break the uniformitv of the church, under pretence of liberty of conscience. But one of their num. Ber, Mr. Herle, the prolocutor of the Assembly, with great candor and good sense, remarked, The difference between us and our brethren who are for Independency, is nothing so great as some conceive; at most, it does but ruffle the fringe, not any way rend the garment of Christ.
