I Have lately met with a certain book, which, though written without any reference to Dr. Middleton's Introductory Difcourse, and with a view quite oppofite to it, is yet fo particularly connected with the fubject of it, and confequently, with the prefent debate, which is grounded upon it, that I have thought it neceffary, on this occafion, to give the reader a short abstract of it, as a proper preface or introduction to the following remarks. The purpose of it, as it is declared by the Title-page, is," To give a true and compre"hensive view of Christianity: or to fet forth "the complete duty of a Chriftian, in relation "to faith, practice, worship, and rituals, with"out regard to any modern Church, Sect, or "Party; as it is taught in the holy Scriptures, was delivered by the Apostles, and received by the universal Church of Chrift during the "first four centuries. The whole laid down in "two Catechifms; the firft, for the use of "Children; the fecond, of more knowing "Chriftians." |
