Excerpt from Strictures on Williams' Reply to Lectures on BaptismAlmost as soon as my humble publication began to draw the breath of life, it was furiously assailed by a writer who manifested a disposition at least, to strangle it in its very cradle. With the Rev. Samuel williams, a minister of the Gospel in connection with the Baptist church, I have had a limited acquaintance for some ten years past. In all my intercourse with that gentleman, I have been led to regard him as a respectable man, an humble christian, and a useful and laborious minis ter of the Gospel. But with the Pastor of the First Baptized Church of Pittsburgh, author of the Reply, I have no acquaintance, save that which has been derived from a perusal of his pub lication. Whatever may be my regard for the man, I should be wanting in respect for myself, were I to profess respect for the author. Not con tent with misrepresenting my views, he has in te peated instances, attributed to me, motives which are utterly inconsistent with the christian charac ter. And this ungenerous and unfraternal course is the less excusable, as no provocation was given, unless a plain and simple exhibition of what I be lieve to be precious truth, should be regarded as ground of offence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
