Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters to the Rev. Ezra Stiles Ely
Without designing to derogate in any wise from the true merit or deserved reputation of any of the fore mentioned celebrated reformers and divines, or from the credit of their respective systems, I could not on reviewing this assemblage of names, creeds and sectarian Isms, but regret the imbecile propensity in human nature, so servilely to bow down to the die tation of dogmatical sect leaders; subjecting them selves thereby to Oppressive yokes, and to the egregi. Ous folly of turning from the pure streams of scrip tural instruction, to the sinks of human errours and corruptions. Nor could I refrain from contrasting with submission so abject, the more noble conduct of the Bereans, who judiciously made the scriptures alone, the test of truth and crrour.
