Excerpt from Biographia Hibernica, Vol. 1 of 2: A Biographical Dictionary of the Worthies of Ireland, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Mr. Abernethy was justlv considered as the head of the non-subscribers, and he consequently became a principal object of persecution. In an early stage of the controversy he published a sermon from the 14th chapter of Romans, the latter part of the 5th verse; Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind in which he explained in a masterly manner the rights of private judgment, and the foundations of christian liberty. He afterwards published a small tract, entitled Seasonable Advice to the contend ing Parties in the North, to which was prefixed a preface composed by the Reverend Messrs. Weld, Boyse, and Chappin, of Dublin. The design of this publication was to prove that there ought to be no breach of communion among the protestant dissenters on account of their differ ence of sentiment concerning subscription to the West minster confession. The controversy on the negative side, of which Abernethy wasa principal leader, was brought into the general synod, and terminated in a rupture in the synod determining that the non-subscribers should no longer remain of their body, and reviving with additional force the act of 1705, which required the can didates for the ministry to subscribe to the Westminster confession. From that time the excluded members formed themselves into a separate' presbytery, and encountered many difficulties and hardships arising from jealousies spread among their people.
