Excerpt from On the Revision of the Confession of Faith
If anything were needed to vindicate the foregoing ex position of the meaning of the overture, it would be sup plied by the brief debate that was held in the Assembly upon its adoption. It was adopted just in this form on the distinct ground that it was a colorless inquiry into the will of the presbyteries, and did not propose either revision or no revision to them; and so little was it thought to con cern the substance of any doctrine that the moderator ruled that the introduction of doctrinal discussion into the debate concerning it was out of order.
