Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Triangle: A Series of Numbers Upon Three Theological Points; Enforced From Various Pulpits in the City of New-York
But, fellow citizens, it is not so much with their sentiments that I am disposed to contend, although they are sufficiently incorrect and erroneous it is with their horribly intolerant, bigoted, and persecuting spirit; against which every man should lift his voice, and proclaim his indignation. The holy fathers and friars of the inquisitorial commission Were never more vindictive or implacable. It comes in thunders and anathemas from their desks: in cants, whispers, and innuendoes among the throng: it comes larded with much holy grimace, and many sanctimonious sighs, for the credulous and pious; with much logical jargon and biblical criticism for smatterers; with spleen and gall enough, when the company has sufficient pride and malice to bear it; and with firebrands. For all the young foxes they can catch. When they have ex hausted their topics of argument, and that they can soon do, without a miracle, they resort to sarcasm and ridicule, and here their talents are wonderful: Her cules often comes in head and shoulders.
