Excerpt from Truth Advocated: In Letters, Addressed to the Presbyterians
The assault made by this writer, being supported by no kind of evidence, yet seasoned by the coarsest and most virulent abuse, when viewed in the abstract, calls for no further ani madversion. But I have. Been induced to notice it, under a belief that it constitutes an entering wedge, preparatory to a more extensive field of operations, before which all opposition to the ambitious views of a hireling priesthood, is to be prostrated. And I think I shall be able to present to the impartial reader, in these letters, no slender evidence that this belief arises nei ther from invidious feelings, nor an overweening credulity.
