by John Owen (Author)

Owen here declares himself to be in sentiment a Presbyterian, in opposition to Prelacy and Independency. He afterwards changed his views on church-government; but in the work on schism, to which we have just referred, he declares that, on the subjects under discussion in this treatise, his principles had undergone no essential change: "When I compare what I then wrote with my present judgment, I am scarce able to find the least difference between the one and the other."
