Excerpt from A Letter to Members of the Church of England

His letter, which is well written, condenses in a small come pass the whole question at issue between the Church of Rome and other Christian communions. The arguments indeed are not new, they have been employed long since by Bossuet, and other Romish controversialists, and have been refuted as often as they have been reproduced. There is a large portion of Mr. Maturin's letter, however, which deals but sparingly in argument, and in which bold assumptions, and confident assertions, are substituted for the reasoning process. He seems to think that where proofs are wanting, it is sufficient to tell us, that certain things are incontrovertible facts, or have been forever settled, and then to place them, without further ceremony amongst the axioms of Theology. He for gets at such times, though at others he is sufficiently alive to it, that as Protestants will use their reason, they'must inevi tably inquire whether these incontrovertible facts are really facts at all, or merely unwarrantable assumptions, with out any claim to their respect.
