Lectures Illustrating the Contrast: Between True Christianity and Various Other Systems (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lectures Illustrating the Contrast: Between True Christianity and Various Other Systems

Lectures but, while the author refers to that work as authority for some of the particular facts which he has presented, it is due to him self to state that the whole outline of the Lec ture in its present form had been prepared be fore the book fell into his hands. In the Lecture on Romanism he has availed himself more particularly of one or two small, but in valuable, works by the Rev. Thomas Hartwell Horne, whose researches in various depart ments of Biblical learning and Ecclesiastical History, have laid the church under deep and perpetual obligation. In the Lecture on Antinomianism he was not a little embarrassed from the Protean character of that heresy, or rather from the different degrees in which it is found to exist; but he became convinced upon reflection, that the only form in which it could be successfully encountered was that of a dis tinct and fully developed system. Those who will look into Andrew Fuller's writings on this subject will perceive that this was the form in which it existed in England in his time; and the author has been assured by several gentle men of great intelligence who have been con versant with it both in Great Britain and in our own country, that the views which are here presented are fully justified by the results of their personal observation.
