Excerpt from The Christian Corrector Corrected
Any minister attack the and his attack shall be inserted in the Cor ure, but if no one does it, the inference is obvio s challenge. Now sir, keep in mind your text; and if you should act so as to be free from thenharge. Therein mentioned, namely, of hateing the light, and refusing to come to it because of your evil deeds, the writer will he very glad. Never Sir, wes, tbere a day m which infidelity so much abounded as at the present, and this abomination bf desolation (alas ) Stands where it ought not to stand, according to the profession almost unive1sally made of mchristianity, for never was there a day when their was so much pro fession, nor when the word of God was so little understood, and the truth Of the scriptures so much denied, as at the present; and the writer confesses that nothing pleases him better than to see The Christian Corrector appear; for both myself and many? Others have been anxiously waiting for many years, for it to come forth. But, as I would not wish to trouble you with too lon0 a letter, we come as soon as we can to shew the meaning of Corah, Dathan, and Abiram, and will be as brief as possible. But sir, if a man were to give merely what he considered or thought to be the meaning of it, (as you request, ) what benefit will you or any derive from mere conjectures? Or a bare thinking, that this or that, that aman might say, may be the meaning of the word of the Lord Is not the world full of this, giving their opinions on the scripture? Are not all sects and parties doing this? And what have they done? This they have done; the mountain in labour has brought forth a mouse. It IS this giving opinions upon the Scriptures, has filled the whole world with confusion about religion, so that it is become a complete Bable; one cannot unde1 stand the speech of the other.
