But my good friend has not yet done with the Unitar ians . He alleges against them another , ancl a most extraordinary charge . " The followers of Mahomet / says he , ( p . 8 l >) u I believe , entertain a higher respect and
veneration for their supposed prophet , than some of the disciples of Jesus do for their Lord and Master /'—They do—and it might have been added , that the papists entertain a higher veneration for the blessed Virgin , whom they call the Mother of God , and for St . Anne , the grandmother of God , and even
for holy Domimck , the sainted founder of the tribunal of the Inquisition , than -Unitarians do for Jesus Christ * For they worship these poor , sinful , deceased mortals ; but Unitarians do not worship Christ—And what then ? Shall it be said that Papists and Mahometans are more to be commended than Unitarian Christians ? But the worthy author does not stop here * After the
notable accusations already mentioned , as-though he had proved that Unitarians themselves , thought more highly of Mahomet than they do of Christ ; he launches out into a comparison of the characters of the true and of the false prophet . u But oh V * says he , how different were their characters , &c " My friend knows that the Unitarians have no more respect for Mahomet than he has . Nor do I believe that he intended to insinuate that they " have . But his language
