DEFENCE

OF

PARTICULAR REDEMPTION.

LETTER I.

DEAR SIR,

AGREEABLY to your earnest request, I have careFully read Mr. Fuller's publication, entitled "Dialogues, Letters, and Essays." Although I have long been acquainted with his sentiments generally, and have attentively perused some of his writings, yet I know hot how long I should have postponed reading the 'Dialogues," had it not been for your earnest solicitaions. I consider myself, therefore, indebted in no mall degree to you for the pleasure and advantage I ave derived from some parts of that work. In the first and second parts, particularly, Mr. Fuller discovers that trength of mind, and that depth and originality of hought, which characterize him as a polemical writer : e has also defended many glorious truths, and triumphnty refuted some dangerous errors.-Here and there, ndeed, even in the first two parts, he touches upon cerain points, on which you will not expect me to agree with him; but it is in the third part wherein he explains imself more particularly on that all-important subject
