Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Third Letter to the Rev. William E. Channing, on the Subject of Unitarianism
I]. You give it to be understood, that the reason of your appearing again before the publick, was my call upon you to retract a misstatement. You had stated that the obvious import of the concluding part of my first Letter might be thus expressed: 'every man who cannot admit as a doctrine of scripture, the great doctrine of three persons in one God, which I and other orthodox Christians embrace, believes an opposite gospel, rejects the true gospel, despises the authori ty of J csus Christ, is of course a man wholly wanting in true piety and without christian virtue; and may in perfect consist eucy with christian love be rejected as unworthy the name of a christian.' I did pronounce this a ?agrant misstate ment, and solemnly call upon you to retract it. In reply you say. I intend to shew, that in giving this interpreta tion, I followed the natural meaning of Dr. Worcester's words, that I put no violence on his language, and that no other sense would have offered itself to an unprejudiced mind. You then proceed to state the passages of my letter which led to the representation which you had formed.
