Description
Excerpt from A Preservative Against the Errors of Socinianism: In Answer to the Rev. John Grundy''s Lectures on the Principal Doctrines of Christianity
IN a prefatory address, it is not uncommon for the author to assign reasons for his undertaking, to ad vertise the substance of his work, to obviate vulgar prejudices, and to apologize for his defect in the execution of his design, or conciliate the candour of the public. But when, as in the present instance, a book has been published in periodical parts, and the principal parts have been sometime in the hands of the purchasers before the preface is actually written, such an address would be merely formal.
It is already known that the Lectures recently delivered and published by the Rev. John Grundy, comprise, with some original matter, the arguments and objections commonly urged by the Socinians against what he justly, but inconsistently, calls the principal doctrines of Christianity and that this work was originally intended to be a preservative against the errors which he has zealously and indus triously laboured to disseminate. The manner in which this defence is conducted is now before the religious public, who have rendered all apologies un necessary by exercising that candour to which the author wished to appeal, and which he now feels it his duty gratefully to acknowledge.
