Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the Rev. William Richards, LL. D., Who Died at Lynn, September 13, 1819, in the Sixty-Ninth Year of His Age: With Some Account of the Rev. Roger Williams

Work. It contains Some Account of a poor persecuted cambra-briton, who, upwards of a century ago, indulged the expansive views of complete religious liberty! His indeed was a soul of no ordinary dimensions. Though his name hath never found its way into the columns of a Biographical Dictionary, his memory must not be suffered to sink into the raven-plumed abyss of oblivion. His sen timents respecting the limits of Christian Freedom, are the sentiments of an enlight ened posterity! Adverting, MY lord, to the sacred Triadsof the ancient britons, for which my deceased friend entertained no small predilection - it is time that good sense, good temper, and good manners, should characterize the professors of Christianity. May truth become the pole-star, and love the resplendent ornament of every indi vidual of every denomination of the Chris tian world!
