Product Description

Excerpt from Remarks on the Tenets and Principles of the Quakers: As Contained in the Theses Theologicae of Robert Barclay Sir, The public Attention has long been taken up with a Controversy of the highest Moment, and big with the most important Consequences to every Christian; and, if we may judge from the Spirit and Conduct of the Adversaries, we may add, to this Church, and Nation also.

But if in applying this Reflection to the sacred Order, we shall find the same unhappy Degrees of Indolence prevailing in some - of personal Reflection in others - and of a jesuitical Sophistry in those of a more cultivated Erudition, end less open Nature - surely, the Guilt must become highly aggravated, and the Punishment, in the End, certain and inevitable.
