Excerpt from The End of Religious Controversy, in a Friendly Correspondence Between a Religious Society of Protestants, and a Roman Catholic Divine, Vol. 3: Addresses to the Lord Bishop of St. David's, in Answer to His Lordship's Protestant's Catechism; On Rectifying Mistakes Concerning the Catholic Church 'It is a shame to charge men with what they are not guilty of, in order to make the breach wider, already too wide.' - Dr, Montague, Bishop of Norwich. Invoc. of Saints, p. 60. 'Let them not lead people by the nose to believe they can prove their supposition, that the Pope is Antichrist, and the Papists idolaters, when they cannot.' - Dr. Herbert Thorndike, Prebendary of Westminster. Just Weights and Measures, p. 11. 'The object of their (the Catholics) adoration of the B. Sacrament is the only true and eternal God, hypostatically joined with his Holy Humanity, which humanity they believe actually present under the veil of the sacramental signs: and if they thought him not present, they are so far from worshipping the bread in this case, that themselves profess it to be idolatry to do so, ' - Dr. Jeremy Taylor, Bishop of Down.

FROM JAMES BROWN, ESQ., TO THE REV. JOHN MILNER, D.D. PRELIMINARIES. New Cottage, October 30, 1801. Reverend Sir? I Have been favored, in due course, with yours of the 20th instant, which I have communicated to those persons of our society whom I have had an opportunity of seeing. No circumstance could strike us with greater sorrow, than that you should suffer any inconvenience from your edifying promptness to comply with our well-meant request, and we confidently trust that nothing of the kind will take place through any fault committed by us. We agree with you, as to the necessity of per- feet freedom of speech, where the discovery of important truths is the real object of inquiry. Hence, while we are at liberty to censure many of your popes and other clergy, Mr. Topham will not be offended with any thing that you can prove against Calvin, nor will Mr. Rankin quarrel with you for exposing the faults of George Fox and James Naylor, nor shall I complain of you for any thing that you may make out against our venerable Latimer or Cranmer; I say the same of doctrines and practices as of persons. If you are guilty of idolatry, or we of heresy, we are respectively unfortunate, and the greatest act of charity we qan perform is to point out to each other the danger of our respective situations to their full extent. Not to renounce error and embrace truth of every kind, when we clearly see it, would be folly; and to neglect doing this, when the question is concerning religious truth, would be folly and wickedness combined together. Finally, we cheerfully leave you to follow what course you please, and to whatever extent you please, provided only that you give us such satisfaction as you are capable of affording, on the subjects which I mentioned in my former letter.?...
