Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reasons for Attachment and Conformity to the Church of England
IN submitting the following pages to the Public, the Author redeems a pledge which he gave, of stating the reasons of that decided avowal, which a sense of duty constrained him to make, of his preference of the com munion and ministry of the Established Church. He is not ashamed to acknowledge, that for several years he discharged the arduous and responsible duties Of pastor of several respectable dissenting congregations. He takes this opportunity of gratefully acknowledging the candour with which his ministry was received, as also the kindness and respect he experienced among them. He feels peculiar pleasure in this way of ex pressing his gratitude to several respectable dissenting ministers, for the handsome manner in which they voluntarily bore testimony to his character and motives at the time when he resigned his ministerial connexion with them. It is satisfactory to the Author to know, that he has vindicated the motives by which he was influenced, by the sacrifices he has made.
