Every possible exertion had been used which I could devise, to render the publication unnecessary; but each attempt has proved ineffectual. The singular efforts which have been adopted and pursued by certain individuals, for several years past, have been of so flagrant a nature, as to demand detection for the safety of others, and of community. Probably the annals of no protestant country, and certainly not of our own, can furnish data in any measure comparable with the unprecedented acts and procedure which are here disclosed. I ask for nothing but facts, and a decision correspondent with them. To these I am justly entitled, and to these I cheerfully and willingly submit. If the documents which are furnished in confirmation of the statement are allowed to have validity, it is presumed the facts will be easily discovered; and that no combined exertions can destroy their force. These may cause very different impressions to be entertained of men and measures, from those which a combination have laboured to produce. I am well aware that it will be deemed unpopular, and probably by some iniquitous, to attempt to expose the turpitude of members belonging to a body which has been highly esteemed for talents and virtue; or to call in question any acts or decisions of an association. Yet the cause of truth ought not to be relinquished because there are formidable obstacles to encounter. Truth will maintain its ascendancy, and surmount all opposition. |
