Book excerpt: Excerpt from Testimony of the United Associate Synod of the Secession Church: In Two Parts, Historical and Doctrinal "The United Associate Synod met, and was constituted by the Reverend Alexander Duncan, Moderator. "Inter alia, Having completed the reading and correcting of the Draft of a Testimony, the Synod unanimously enacted as follows: - That while they retain the Confession of Faith and Catechisms (as recognised in the Basis of Union), and the Summary of Principles, as their creed, or profession of faith, or Terms of Communion, and therefore do not elevate the Testimony to the place of authority which these standards occupy; they, having deliberately reviewed it, do adopt and sanction it as a defence and illustration of the principles and design of the Secession, and do earnestly recommend it to the candid and diligent perusal of all under their charge. "And farther, the Synod agreed that a reference shall be made to said Testimony in the Formula of Ordination, and that the 5th question shall be expressed in the following terms: - "Do you consider, as still valid, those reasons of Secession from the Judicatories of the Established Church, which are stated in the Testimonies emitted by the Secession Church; namely, the sufferance of error without adequate censure; the infringement of the rights of the Christian people in the choice and settlement of their ministers under the law of patronage; the neglect or relaxation of discipline; the restraint of ministerial freedom in opposing mal-administration; and the refusal of the prevailing party to be reclaimed?
