Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Modern Emigrant, or Lover of Liberty: Being a Discourse, Delivered in the City of New-York
This city stood about twenty miles north of Jerusalem, being twelve miles south of Dothan. This was a city of the Ephraimites, the capital of the ten tribes of Israel: it was once wholly given up to idolatry. At that time, the Jews being af?icted with wars, ?ed to Samaria for shelter, and introduced their holy religion among its ih habitants.
When Philip went to preach the gospel of Christ to the Samaritans, he found them in possession of copies of the laws of Moses, which were corrupted with sundry mistakes. Not merely those which arose from the transcribers mistaking one Hebrew letter for another, but because they were mixed with tenets in favour of idolatry.
