An apology for the Church of Scotland, against the accusations of prelatists and jacobites, and particularly the reflections of J.S. late incumbent at Forfar. Wherein the said church, is fairly vindicated from the unjust charge of schism; and the same justly fastned upon her accusers. As also, the late proceedings of the presbytries of angus, and other judicatories, against the disloyal and rebellious Clergy, are justified; and the wickedness of the rebellion, and clemency of the government set forth. And likewise, the divine institution of presbyterial government and ordination, is clearly evinced from scripture: and the usual pretexts, for the apostolical foundation of prelacy, are fully overthrown.
