Manifesto of the Third Presbytery of Philadelphia, 1837: t.p. (Third Presbytery of Philadelphia)

PPPrHi files (Third Presbytery of Philadelphia; also known as Presbytery of Philadelphia, Third; in 1832 the General Assembly, Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., erected the Second Presbytery of Philadelphia as a political (Old vs. New School) division of the contentious Presbytery of Philadelphia; the conservative Synod of Philadelphia refused to acknowledge this division for several years, and in 1834 it split Philadelphia Presbytery into First and Second Presbyteries along other lines, rendering the group formed by the General Assembly null and void; that group reorganized itself in 1835, taking the name of Third Presbytery of Philadelphia and later became a New School adherent during the schism; in 1846 it set off the Fourth Presbytery of Philadelphia; in 1870 it was divided among the presbyteries of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Central, and Lehigh in the reorganization)
