Excerpt from The Shortest Way to End Disputes About Religion: In Two Parts I judged it necessary to add a short discourse to prove that the Roman Catholic Church alone has a just title to it, which was no sooner done, but I found myself obliged to vindicate that Church from the imputation of the many gross errors laid to her charge for it would be a vain attempt to prove her infallible, as long as this popular preju dice subsisted against her. And now I began, to find that I had reckoned very short at first, and that the more the work advanced, the faster it grew upon my hands. But, being too far engaged to stop, I was under a necessity of making still more additions, and those of a considerable length, in vindication of the Church of Rome, and to invalidate the testimony of her first and principal accuser, that so her enemies might be more easily disposed to a belief of her infallibility, when they were convinced that she had already continued free from errors for the Space of above sixteen hundred years, and that the chief evidence against her was a person of too scandalous a char acter to be depended upon in any thing of mo ment, much less in a cause wherein the credit and reputation of such an illustrious body as the Roman Catholic Church has always been, and the salvation of millions of souls, are concerned.
