Excerpt from Tracts in Controversy With Dr. Priestley: Upon the Historical Question, of the Belief of the First Ages, in Our Lord's Divinity In the year 17 82, an open and vehement attack was made by Dr. Priestley, upon the creeds and the established discipline of every church in Christendom, in a work in two volumes octavo, entitled, A History of the Corruptiom of Christianity. At the head of these, the author placed both the Catholick doctrine of our Lord's Divinity, and the Arian notion of hi pre-existence in a nature far superior to the human, represent ing the Socinian doctrine of his mere humanity as the unan imous faith of the first Christians. It seemed that the most dermal preservative against the intended mischief would be, to destroy the writer's credit and the authority of his name.
