List of Printing Errors

The following printing errors are often found in popular editions of the Westminster Confession. Some of these errors were first introduced in early printings of the Confession, and thereby transmitted to subsequent editions. The corrections listed are noted in S.W. Carruthers, The Westminster Confession of Faith (Manchester: R. Aikman and Son, 1937).

The present publisher has incorporated the correct references into the body of the preceding index. References marked below with an asterisk (*) were correct in editions of the Confession published by the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland prior to 1994. All references are correct in the new Free Presbyterian edition of 1994.
