Councils err, and Presbyterianism has processes for redress, so why not exhaust all means, and may God bless it! But I would not appeal on the basis of being a "weaker brother." If one holds to psalmody he should do it on the basis that it is a New Testament ordinance, and the ordinances ipso facto bind the consciences of all believers. To claim to be a weaker brother is to maintain it is a matter of indifference which requires accommodation; and as it is already treated as a matter of indifference, the appeal accomplishes nothing.

I agree and used the quotation marks to insinuate what the average non EP person thinks of us, and if this is so they ought to at least treat this as a matter of a weaker brother and not sing hymns around the "weaker brother".
I agree I erred in stating one should use this as a defense of EP. Though as a matter of conscience I believe this bad argument could show the weakness of the average non-EP person that thinks this is a matter of indifference.
