    or oppose that which is the plainly revealed will of Heaven ? Car * reason or criticism assist it ? No ; a revealed religion is confessedly at once perfect and complete in all its parts , and wants

    neither the private judgment nor the publicly displayed ingenuity of man bo improve it . Truth is in its nature ( pardon the expression ) intolerant ; it can as little bear a competitor , or receive assistance from the ignorance of man , as it . can coalesce with darkness and falsehood ; and as nothing but the truth can

    enlighten our darkness , and purify and save our depraved nature , it is the duty of every spiritual believer to hold fast , and to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints ; and when unstable men , of perverted minds , want to disturb the

    order of our churches with their whims and conceits of improvement , on the plausible ground of the right of private judgment , let them be reminded that others have a judgment as well asthemselves , and just as good a right to the use of it . Gogmagog tells us how he joined several churches , and howlie left them because he was abridged of his Christian liberty j all which may be very true ; but we must not discard the old proverb which says that " one story is good till another is told . Indeed he more than intimates that he was turned out of several

    societies , and some persons might infer that it was for nothing ; that was good . He certainly seems not a little chagrined that he could not govern them and have every thing his own way ; he may tell a smooth tale , but after so often changing his notions and being turned out of so many churches , he has very little reason , in the private judgment of some , to pride himself

    either on the correctness of his judgment or the superior rectitude of his conscience . And without any breach of Christian charity I may affirm , that his very name is suspicious and alarming , and one from which good John Bunyan would hav& inferred , that he certainly was a ** Diabolouian , the son of

    Diabolonian . " At any rate it has long been known to be Antichristian , and inimical to evangelical truth * the mark of the beast ia engraven on it ; and , according to the sure word of prophecy * it will onfi day be exposed to everlasting shame and contempt * I , am , Sir , yours , &c . Antimagog .
