I was wondering - does anyone know whether Jonathan Edwards officially subscribed to the Savoy Declaration? I understand Edwards was Independent in his view of church polity rather than Presbyterian. Does anyone have specific information on this? Thanks.
 
He probably would have been required to give "assent" at Yale, and there might have been a formal relation through his Association. I doubt there would have been "subscription," though. There is a well known letter to John Erskine stating his agreement with the substance of the Westminster Confession and Presbyterianism.
