The note in page 124 was quoted from the second edition of the Asso Synod's Testimony. In the third edition revised by the Synod in 1813, u have thus expressed themselves on this article.

"We maintain with the Westminster Assembly, that God alone is Le "of the conscience; and hath left it free from the doctrines and comm "ments of men; and declare that no man has a right to compel those, "are under his civil authority, to worship God contrary to the dictates oft 36 own consciences. This freedom from compulsion, whether it be called "vilege, liberty, or right, cannot be denied to men under any pretence w "soever, unless we adopt the principle that men should serve God, not cording to their own consciences, but according to the will or consciences "those who are over them in power or authority. Yet this right canno pleaded in behalf of principles or practices destructive to civil society.
