Messi Nathaniel Wales, Jonathan Bingham, Ralph Wheelock, Jabez Huntington, and John Bachus, jun. all jointly testified, Page 48, That they heard Mr. B—in depreciating Faith in Christ, and saying that GOD was not pleased nor displeased with any Man for believing or disbelieving, deliver the same Comparison in Mr. Clap's Pulpit, which he showed to Mr Clap in Chubb, which he mentioned there as what he took out of an ingenious Author.

We don't mention these Passages of these Gentlemen's Testimonies, as containing the whole Errors that were testified against Mr. Breck, but that they might be compared with the above mentioned Words of Mr. B—. You allow the Testimonies to be good, and say you improved them as such: But if so, and their Testimonies, even as to the Main, ben't false, what shall we make of Mr. Breck's asserting that he can truly say that be never did believe that Faith was not necessary to Salvation, and that he never had a Thought that the Heathen doing what they could would entitle 'em to Salvation; far be it from me to imagine any such Thing! Shall we charitably think that Mr. Breck has forgot all this? Certainly this at least might well make us cautious in proceeding, and desire to have some thorough Evidence of an Alteration in him!
