Excerpt
Excerpt: The original title of Mr. Willison?s Testimony is transcribed below following this preface in its entirety. The title states that the Testimony is a ?Fair and Impartial Testimony.? As such, Mr. Willison presents an account of the events that took place in the history of the Church of Scotland. Not only does he write of the events that took place between the men involved, he also inserts proclamations of praise to God and alludes to the Lord?s providential care over His Church. Mr. Willison demonstrates a highly practical understanding of God?s providence as he demonstrates the infallibility of God?s word in connection with history. He applies the eternal truths of the Holy Writ to the events that took place in a most appropriate manner. Also, as Mr. Willison recounts the sins of the Church, he not only exposes those who promoted error, but also demonstrates that those who stood for truth had a tendency to sin in a way peculiar to individuals who strive to maintain purity in doctrine. The reader may note that the parallels between the Church of Scotland then and the Reformed and Presbyterian Churches of today seem strikingly similar. There is nothing new under the sun.
