    and therefore the moral effect of this Creed would be but ntro ^ atory ^ were not the attributes , as well as the person of the Deity divided ^ and some unamiable views associated with the first person in the Trinity , which have lessened the comforts of social life , and produced gloom and austerity in the minds of

    individuals ; witness Calvin himself . But there is another doctrine connected with this , the moral tendency of which is far from being so innoxious -, concerning which , I have a few thoughts to offer , if what I have now written , shall be thought worthy of your notice .
