Misrepresentations corrected, and truth vindicated. In a reply to the Rev. Mr. Solomon Williams's…

If you will believe what Mr. W. says (P. 56.) Those blessed Epithets and Characters in the Epistles of the Apostles, which you always, from the first Foundation of the Town, have been taught to be peculiar and glorious Expressions and Descriptions of the blessed Qualifications and State of true Saints, and Heirs of eternal Happiness; such as being elected, chosen before the Foundation of the World, predestinated to the Adoption of Children through Jesus Christ; quickened, and made alive to God, tho' once dead in Trespasses & Sins; washed, sanctified, justified;— made to sit together in heavenly Places in Christ; begotten again, to an Inheritance incorruptible, undefiled; — with innumerable others the like:— I say, if you believe Mr. W. you have been quite mistaken all your Days, and misled by all your Ministers; these Things are no more than were said of the whole Nation of the Jews, even in their worst Times! Which is (as I have observed) exactly agreeable to the strange Opinion of Mr. Taylor of Norwich in England, that Author who has so corrupted Multitudes in N. England. Thus you are at once deprived of all the chief Texts in the Bible, that hitherto have been made Use of among you, as teaching the discriminating Qualifications and Privileges of the truly pious, and the Nature and Benefits of a real Conversion; too much paving the Way for the Rest of Taylor's Scheme of Religion, which utterly explodes the Doctrines you have been formerly taught concerning eternal Election, Conversion, Justification; and so, of a natural State of Death in Sin; and the whole Doctrine ⟨p. 172⟩of Original Sin, and of the mighty Change made in the Soul by the Redemption of Christ applied to it.
