Excerpt from Christian Baptism: An Examination of the Rev. Mr. Fowler's Lectures on the "Mode and Subjects of Baptism" Now I shall cheerfully leave my intelligent and candid fellow citizens to judge between me and the author, with regard to these charges of abuse, vulgarity, &c. After they have read my 'address' in reply to Concord', and my Response' to the First Congregational Church in Fall River; and especially when they shall have considered the course which Mr. F. And his people have taken with regard to this controversy. Still, as the author of these lectures aims his artillery at me, (though he has not used my name, ) it seems to devolve on me to examine his lectures And as I have from the first been willing that the light of day should shine on the whole of this controversy, I shall not now seek concealment, nor resort to artifice, but endeavor openly and fearlessly, and yet affectionately, to expose error and de' fend truth. In prosecuting the work before me, I intend to treat Rev. Mr. Fow ler and his people with entire respect; and I hope that I may yet live and have Opportunity to give them and the world substantial proof that I do not indulge any unkind feeling toward them as Chris tians. It would afford me sacred joy' to do them good - to promote their immortal welfare - to reciprocate every expression of Christian love.' I do sincerely, before God and men, publicly invite an inter change of kind offices with the Rev. Mr. Fowler and the members of his church, and I do hope that no unpleasant feelings arising from this controversy will be allowed to obstruct a friendly intercourse with each other.
