Excerpt from Dissent: From the Church of England, Fully Justified; And Proved the Genuine and Just Consequences of the Allegiance Due to Christ, the Only Lawgiver in the Church; Being the Dissenting Gentleman's Three Letters and Postscript, in Answer to Mr. Johnwhite's on That

The Gentleman to whom these Letters are addressed, having called us forth to a vindication of our religious principles and practice; we think ourselves happy that without fear of the heavy fines, imprisonments and deaths, which our Forefathers suffered, we can make our Defence.

A calm and unprejudiced examination of our cause is all the favour we ask. Such an examination, we are humbly confident, will shew - That we separate from the Church of England in no one thing, but in which me separates herself from the Church of Jesus Christ - That we are Non-conformists to the Establishment only in those points in which the Establishment is not conformed to the primitive apostolic plan of discipline and worship established in the word of God - And that would the Governors of this Church be pleased to lay aside those things which they themselves know and acknowledge to be no parts at all of genuine, original, real Christianity; and to be but the devices of fallible and weak men; the difference would be no more; our separation would at once vanish; we should immediately join together, with one heart and one mouth giving glory to God.
