Brand New Book. Excerpt from The Independent Whig, or a Defence of Primitive Christianity, and of Our Ecclesiastical Establishment, Against the Exorbitant Claims and Encroachments of Fanatical and Disaffected Clergymen: Four Volumes in One As this is the first American Edition of the Independent Whig, and as it is a work that is written with great art, energy, and ability, and as the subjects of religion and the clergy are treated with un usual freedom, it may not, perhaps, be amiss to suggest some consider ations as the grounds of the opinion, that its general introduction into our society, will have a salutary in?uence upon religion, liberty, and social happiness. Religious systems will always be considered by men of sense and candour, in two distinct points of view the one, as respects their authenticity, the other, as respects their practical, mo ral tendency. There is no necessary identity of these ideas; as it is evident, that a system not well authenticated as to a divine origin and character, may have a favourable moral tendency; neither, on the other hand, is it an established axiom, that a system which is founded in truth will necessarily have the effect of rendering mankind more vir tuous and more happy. We do not know how far it is a part of the divine economy, with relation to human affairs, that we should grope in darkness and errour. As light may be too intense for the organs of sight, so there maybe a moral light too great for the human mind. Any system, however, which is a special communication of the Divine will, must be adapted to the moral faculties of man and necessary to his happiness here, or his salvation hereafter, or to both. Such a sys tem must be necessary, or it would not exist, and what necessity can there be, but one or both of the objects here noticed.
