This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1837 edition. Excerpt: ... sceptic, or even the voice of Reason herself, ever suppress the recurrence of so natural a sentiment. Could demonstration explode it, the delusion would still remain, as that irrefragable chain which proves the non-existence of matter is dissipated by the instincts of nature and the evidence of the senses. But when a prejudice, thus powerful in itself, thus venerable by its antiquity, is fostered and enforced by all the solemnities of an institution so august and awful as the Catholic Church, is inculcated by its ministers, canonized in its confessions and offices, impressed on the imagination by pomp and splendour, on the heart, by the most tremendous penalties, what wonder if it be moulded into the mind, and blended with the inward frame of her votaries? Again, so undefined are the limits of faith and reason, so incontrollable the presumption of human vanity, that, when to these are added the evils resulting from licentious speculation on revealed truth, and the danger of error or even of vacillation there, we cannot be surprised, if a form of Christianity, which affords a remedy for that class of errors, should have drawn the attention of mankind. Much more will a system, the very end of whose constitution it is to yield a sovereign antidote for these ills, attract the regard of every one who feels himself exposed to them, whether by the strength or the weakness of his understanding. That authority which the Church of Rome assumes, that implicit submission which she enjoins, promise repose to the understanding, and seem to ensure to man an exemption from the doubt and uncertainty which attend all human reasonings; but which, in religious inquiries, are ever attended with so painful a solicitude. No doubt, nor hesitation, with anxious..

Book Description
Excerpt from A Concise View of the Principal Points of Controversy Between the Protestant and Roman Churches The two first and the third of the tracts here published, have for some years past been frequently called for, and the author has been repeatedly solicited to allow a new edition of them. Motives of delicacy only, have prevented his compliance. He was unwilling to renew any uneasy feelings in the breast of the venerable writer of the "Address to the Roman Catholics in the United States of America," for whom, notwithstanding many illiberal insinuations in this address, he never ceased to entertain sincere esteem and attachment. By the decease of Archbishop Carroll, every disinclination and obstacle to the republication of these tracts, is removed. They who may now enter the lists against them, will not be able to advance any thing unnoticed by him, and therefore no dread is entertained of their being refuted. If it should be said, that publications of this nature are only calculated to nourish the acrimonious spirit of controversy, which Christian charity should rather strive to suppress, let the reader turn to the "Appendix to the Catholic Question," published at New-York in 1813, and candidly determine whether such a wanton attack upon the Protestant faith, did not call for more severe animadversion than that which it received. A pamphlet in support of this publication, and written by a Dr. O'Gallagher, was put into my hands last fall. With the exception of some coarse abuse, and an arrogant affectation of theological superiority, it contains little or nothing, which was not refuted in the Short Answer to the Appendix. My friends: however, advised me to notice it, and I have done so accordingly. The malignity of the Doctor's remarks, meets the pity of the writer of these sheets, and is freely forgiven; although, if unrestrained, he has no doubt, that, by some fiery bigots, it would be extended to personal persecution. As an evidence, that such feelings exist, he will take the liberty of presenting the reader with the copy of a letter which he lately received from a Romish Priest, together with his reply to it. The letter was written in French, and is laterally translated. The original is with the printer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
