Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Truth Advocated: In Letters, Addressed to the Presbyterians In the Christian Repository, a paper published in Wilmington, Delaware, a writer under the signature of Paul, has attacked the religious society of Friends. He has been answered by a member of that society, under the title of Amicus. After what has been done in our defence, it would seem to be a work of supererogation to add any thing further. But the reader, if he has perused those publications, will perceive that I have here replied to charges, which Amicus from their multiplicity has been obliged to pass over in silence; and when I have taken up the same subjects which Amicus has noticed, I have treated them differently. I do not mean by this to be understood as depreciating the labours of that writer. The ability and temper with which he has managed his side of the controversy, against a very unfair antagonist, will, I think, be generally acknowledged: I do not intend, therefore, to occupy his ground. Be his the task of continuing to expose the sophistry of the author, mine to unfold the character of the man: and whilst Amicus leaves him in his mask, I shall uncover him and present him before the public as a Presbyterian minister. The assault made by this writer, being supported by no kind of evidence, yet seasoned by the coarsest and most virulent abuse, when viewed in the abstract, calls for no further animadversion. But I have been induced to notice it, under a belief that it constitutes an entering wedge, preparatory to a more extensive field of operations, before which all opposition to the ambitious views of a hireling priesthood, is to be prostrated. And I think I shall be able to present to the impartial reader, in these letters, no slender evidence that this belief arises neither from invidious feelings, nor an overweening credulity.
