Excerpt from The Historical Magazine and Notes and Queries, 1868, Vol. 4: Concerning the Antiquities, History and Biography of America
A religious establishment is, from its very nature, conservative. It has nothing to gain by agitation or revolution, but much to risk. Its necessary attitude toward new and earnest outbreaks of popular religious feeling, is one of hostility. This was the case in a marked man ner, with the established order in Connecticut, when that tide Of religious revival, which for more than a century has been associated with the names of Edwards and Whitfield, rolled over New England. At first, indeed, the great trans-atlantic Apostle received acautious and guarded welcome. But his own zeal and im prudence, to say nothing of the course pursued by his followers and admirers - Tennent, Daven port, Allen, Croswell and others - provoked crit icism, then suspicion and at length denuncia tion. Ministers saw their congregations thinned by the loss Of those who admired and followed the Revivalists, and who were almost immedi ately designated as Separatists. The Legisla ture sympathized with the clergy, and resolved to check the threatening evil. That evil had already become serious. New congregations were formed in many places, and others were in progress of being gathered. Some Of the more warm-hearted and zealous of the clergy favored them; while others Opposed them. President Clap, at the head of Yale College, belonged to the latter class. SO also did many Of the most prominent clergy and civilians of the State.
The strength Of this antagonism Of feeling is reflected in many historic incidents Of the time.
