their own doctrines than I now entertain . Ihdeed , I atn now more than ever convinced that those Trinitarian rulers not only dare not direct their
readers to the perusal of any Unitarian publications , but , on the contrary , must , for the sake of their systems , act by such publications according to the mode in which the Pope and his Church have acted towards the Bible
and its distributors . I freely admit that the Cursory Remarks were too hastily written , and expressed in stronger language than I should have deerfted proper to use , if at the time I ha <| entertained any idea of their bfeitig likely to meet the public eye ;
but although incautiously drawn up , I do ta 6 fc tfllftw t&at the ^ are ra&fceurate oh a&f e&f&gntull point . I am / indeed , sorry that they have afforded a handle for the very uhcaiidid attack on the
