Written assignment

Set the 1647 text of WCF 31.1-4 beside the 1788 text, name what 1788 removes, and write one fair paragraph on each: why the 1647 divines said the magistrate may call a synod, and why the American revisers dropped the clause. Then show from Acts 15 and the proof texts which claims both texts keep (a synod's decisions are ministerial and fallible).

Do this work on your own and keep it with your notes. Submitting written work for review is open only in the school's own classes; for this course it is not available yet.
