Records of the General Synod of Ulster, From 1691 to 1820, Vol. 1 of 3: 1691-1720 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Records of the General Synod of Ulster, From 1691 to 1820, Vol. 1 of 3: 1691-1720
These minutes, as stated in the original prospectus sent out by the Committee, constitute the only official record of the proceedings of the Synod for the long period of one hundred and thirty years and it is believed their perusal will prove interesting to the community at large as well as to persons of historical and antiquarian tastes. They set forth the views of the Synod upon many public questions, disclose their correspondence with successive governments and statesmen, and show what efforts Presbyterians made in those days to promote education in Ireland and extend their principles both at home and in the then American Colonies. To all who would search into the origin and history of the congregations of the Irish Presbyterian Church, or would understand the religious state of that communion in the eighteenth century, and the manners of the period, they will prove specially valuable. References continually occur in them to customs which have passed away, to congregational changes and settlements and important debates respecting doctrine which in no slight degree helped to mould the social and spiritual life of the Province; and the names of ministers and ruling elders of the Synod may be traced at the present time in very many of the best known families in the North of Ireland.
The volumes are issued so as to be uniform with the Minutes of the General Assembly; but the ancient spellings and contractions have been retained. To the last volume will be attached a few notes which may serve to elucidate portions of the minutes to the present generation, and a suitable index.
