Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Recent Attempt to Defeat the Constitutional Provisions in Favor of Religious Freedom: Considered in Reference to the Trust Conveyances of Hanover Street Church In laying before the public this ingenious attempt of the clergy of the Orthodox party in Massachusetts, to resume the power of which the increasing light of two centuries had gradually deprived them, I am not conscious that I am influenced by any other motive than a wish to preserve to the laity their just and legal rights; rights given to them by God, and guarantied to them by his revelation. I am ready to admit that I am what is called a Rational Christian; but if I knew of any attempt on the part of the Liberal clergy to usurp powers which can only be lawfully exercised by laymen, I would as readily expose the project to public indignation. That the public may fully comprehend the nature and design of the extraordinary attempt made to bind to all future generations, the descendants of several thousand people in this city, and to effect by the forms of law, what the inventors feel conscious they could not produce by eloquence or the force of truth, it will be necessary that I should give a brief sketch of the history of Christians, so far as it respects the most valuable of their rights, the right of thought. It is a matter susceptible of perfect proof that during the apostolic age and the two which immediately followed it, the liberty, freedom of thought, and entire equality, which seem to be among the most distinguished principles of the gospel, were felt, acknowledged, and in practice admitted.
