Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter From a Lay-Man: In Communion With the Church of England; Tho´ Dissenting From Her on Some Points No, my Lord, there is no shadow of Reason for this Suspicion; not only your known Openness and Candor, but your long Profession and Interest, as well as your Labours, and your Sufferings, would be more than Proof enough of your Sincerity to any but Unreasonable Men. It were well, if we did not all find that the most of these Confiderations did not chain us down too fast to our Opinions, considering the natural Bent and Turn of our Minds, and keep us from quitting them, or at least from quitting the Profession of them even for the Truth it self. If my Writing to your Lordship on this Occasion requires any Apology, when you allow me the Honour to do it so freely on any other, I must beg you will give me leave to tell you, It is because I have the Happiness to know the true Greatness of your Mind, which leads you to a peculiar Love of the Truth, and of Mankind. Your Lordship knows how much more we owe to Truth, than to every Thing in the World besides ;and that the love of it is the Seed-plot of all Knowledge and Vertue, as well as of all Happiness in this Life or another. Your Lordship too, is perfectly well acquainted with the Rights of Men and Christians, and has a Soul fill´d with Benevolence to all that are made Partakers of Humane Nature, but especially to all the Vertuous and Christian Part of Mankind; and is fully appriz´d that whilst their differing from Your Lordship does not divest them of their Humanity, Vertue, and Religion, it must never lessen or abate your Love and Good-will towards them, You teach us with an Energy peculiar to your Self, That loving Men for their agreeing with us, is but a Fondness for ourselves, and being pleas´d with our own Image in our Fellow-Creatures, instead of loving the Image of our Maker, or of our Blessed Lord and Master in them.
