Excerpt from Notes on the Preface: To the Rhemish Testament Scriptures; of which the more we know, we shall be less easily led into religious error, by yielding a blind submission to the unsanctioned dictates of any class of men, whose doctrines may differ from Holy writ; and be thus guarded against the vices which follow from an ignorance or misrepresentation of those sacred oracles, and which are the distinguishing characteristic of modern times. The more we are acquainted with the awful truths they contain, the more regular are our lives likely to be; we shall probably be better members of society, and more amenable to the laws of our country, as well as obedient to the laws of God. That this, and not a desire of public notice, is the writers object, is obvious from the withholding his name.
