We need not recur again to the object for which this work was instituted, or to the principles on which it has been hitherto conducted. Our views of doctrine were fully exbibited at the commencement of our labors, and as we have proceeded, we have found no occasion for change. The great principles of the Orthodox faith, as contained in the Scriptures, as explained by Edwards and his coadjutors and followers, and as embraced by the Evangelical churches of New England, are too firmly established—on their own proper evidence, and in the hearts of thousandsto be easily subverted or abandoned. Constituting, as we doubt not they do, the theology of the Bible, and the hope of the world, to explain, defend, and enforce them, for the edification of believers and for the conviction of misbelievers and unbelievers of every description, will continue to claim our chief attention. In this important work, we need, and we solicit, a general co-operation of the friends of truth. We need the assistance of their ablest pens, in discussing, as we hope to do more at large in our future numbers, the great doctrines and precepts of the Gospel. That so many of our pages have hitherto been occupied in exposing and resuting a particular system of false religion, which has crept in and spread desolation around us, was not because the resutation of this system constituted the only or the principal end of our labors, but because, for the time, this seemed to be the threatening evil of the church, affecting (as it does) the principal articles of the Evangelical faith, and aiming, confessedly, to overthrow them all. Should innovations equally great and alarming make their appearance from any other quarter, they will be met in the same spirit, and with a resistance equally determined. The progress of the heresy to which we have alluded has not been such, during the last year, as to excite any fearful apprehensions. Notwithstanding the frequent boasts of its friends-whose vauntings would seem to be in the inverse ratio of their successes VOL. IV.-NO. I. 1 |
