An humble attempt in defence of reformation principles; particularly on the head of the civil magistrate. Wherein the gross falsehoods, calumnies, and imposed senses, palmed, by Mr. John Goodlet, upon the testimony emitted by the reformed presbytery, are exposed and confuted; and said testimony vindicated. As also, the seceding scheme of political principles most fully detected; -and discovered to be inconsistent with the law of nature, light of divine revelation, and covenanted testimony of the Church of Scotland. By John Fairly, Minister of the Gospel.
