Excerpt from The Works of Augustus M. Toplady, A. B, Vol. 5 of 6: Late Vicar of Board Hembury, Devon

Before I enter on the proof of this, I must clear my way, by first considering what you, sir, allege on the other side. In doing which, I shall endea vour to preserve, not only the decency, but the re spect, to which your merits, both as a scholar and as a writer, justly entitle you. Though fame is mistaken, if you have not condescended to act as a secretary, on this, as well as a preceding occasion. However this be, I cannot help wishing, that so worthy and considerable a person had drawn his pen, rather in attempting to heal, than widen, the um happy breaches among us; and had undertaken to vindicate, instead of seeking to confute, the doctrines of the church he professes to revere. But, alas! Every day's experience proves the truth of the old adage; All is not wise, that wise men say; nor all good, that good men do.
