| Excerpt |
| Upon the first settlement of Massachusetts, our ancestors adopted the congregational system, and early introduced the Cambridge Platform as their ecclesiastical constitution. The usages of our churches, however, have not been so uniform as many seem to imagine. The rights of the church and the congregation have never been settled upon consistent principles, nor exercised through different periods with uniformity. Under the Colonial government, all power, civil and ecclesiastical, was vested in the church. No one was acknowledged as a freeman, no one was allowed to exercise the right of suffrage in any important concern, who was not a member of the church. Then the election of a minister lay exclusively with the church. The congregation as distinct from that body was not even recognized by the States. |

| Decription |
| A Vindication of the Results of the late Mutual Council convened in Princeton, is a systematic treatise that resulted in the calling of the Rev. Samuel Clark to the local church at Princeton. Until the modern age of the 20th century church clergy were not often elected by the local church, instead, they were often appointed by a “Town Council” who would not only elect a pastor for the church without the inclusion of the local church, but would write their covenant and ask the church to ratify it “when assembled in church meeting.” This book, written by one of the “Town Council” members who voted to call a new minister, lays out the complete scenario and discussion of the calling of Rev. Samuel Clark to the local church at Princeton. Included in this little book are the towns-minutes and the churches’ discussion along with the votes cast by each. A crucial book in understanding the function between Church and State even after the Second Great Awakening in America. |
