It is my désire, not to be understood as meaniug to expivss any opinion for, any more than against, any of the opinions, whatever they may be, to which you hâve given expression in any of your works ; whatever they may be, had they been opposite to what they are, my weak endeavours towards your support, under the oppression you are enduring, would not bave been otherwise than they are. Your cause is, in my eyes, the cause of ail dissenters of evefy dénomination, fromthe corruptive and demoralizing, and stupifying tyranny of every established and persecuting church. »
