Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Few Hints, on Monarchy Republicanism by a True Friend to Liberty
The prospects of religion now began to brighten, tho' bigotry 'and superstion had not yet dropt its fetters;) that most invaluable of blessings the art of Printing arose in the night of barbarism, and as it arose, the clouds of prejudice, ignorance and superstition began to dispel, a new light sprung into the mind of man, he began to view himself a rational being and he saw it his duty to call his reason into ao tion he knew that no person however great or powerful had a right to dictate to him in a cause of conscience and in religious matters, to his God he was only answerable. He there fore left his native land, his friends, and came to America, and the sweet chain of associa tions and feelings that bound him to it he tore from his heart. In that country tyranny and oppression reigned and he would not bow to its arbitrary power.
