Book Description
Excerpt from A Vindication of the Four Laymen, Who Requested the Three Bishops to Present Charges Against Bishop Doane And although Bishop doane in his confession says, that he penned a pamphlet, parts of which he does not now justify, and expressions in which, in regard to these brethren, (the three presenting Bishops, ) he deeply regrets, he has no regrets to make for the publication of the above cited libels against the four laymen. The four laymen will now proceed to vindicate themselves from the false aspersions made against them by Bishop doane, and to show that the charges there made against them by him, are false and calumnious; and that all that the four laymen said against Bishop doane, is true. In order to see exactly what the four laymen said, it will be necessary to peruse carefully their [letter to the Three Bishops. It will be found in the Appendix, Letter A. The laymen said that they believed that the foregoing charges could be sustained by proof. The first charge, as contained in the Third Presentment, as made by the Three Presenting Bishops, will be found in the Appendix, Letter B. It is, substantially, that he contracted numerous and large debts, beyond his means of pay ment, amounting to not less than two hundred and eighty thousand dollars, and probably three hundred thousand dollars.
