Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Letter to Archdeacon Hare, on the Judgment in the Gorham Case
It is far from being my purpose to defend either the substance or the wording of the resolutions which called forth your letter from the strictures which you have passed upon them. I have no wish to make any presumptuous attempt to do that feebly which I have no doubt will be vigourously performed by some one of those among the signers who, as you truly say, stand in the foremost rank of our contemporary divines, if he shall deem it necessary to reply to your observations. Still farther is it from my intention to go through the judgment and give my reasons for dissenting from it in toto. Any such proceeding has been rendered wholly super?uous by the unanswerable letter of the Bishop of Exeter, and the equally unanswerable preface to Mr. Badeley's corrected impression of his speech. The object at which I shall aim is of a much humbler character. It will be simply to state the grounds on which I felt it to be my duty not to neglect the opportunity which presented itself of signing those resolutions, and on which I should be prepared to sign them at this moment, had I not already done so.
