About this Item
29, [3 blanks] pp, but lacking the half title. Untrimmed [some chipping at blank untrimmed margins] and stitched. Good+. This is one of the "significant publications" by the historian-clergyman Belknap [DAB]. Here he discusses the "afflictions of the gospel," and the trials and tribulations of clergymen. Among these is "the resentment of pretended patriots," who "would exclude clergymen from all attention to matters of state and government. . . from bringing political subjects into the pulpit, and even threaten us with the loss of our livings if we move at all in the political sphere." The New England clergy was the especial target of Jeffersonians during this period, for the former's alleged monarchical and undemocratic tendencies. Evans 30052. II DAB 147. BAL 937.
