A Vindication of the Doctrine of Scripture, and of the Primitive Faith, Concerning the Deity of Christ, Vol. 1 of 2

Excerpt from A Vindication of the Doctrine of Scripture, and of the Primitive Faith, Concerning the Deity of Christ, Vol. 1 of 2: In Reply to Dr. Priestley's History of Early Opinions, &C The idea of this work was first suggested by a letter with appeared, under Dr Priestley's signature, in one of the London prints, about four years ago. The design of this letter was to state that, although some years had elapsed since the publication of his History of Early Opinions concerning Jesus Christ, no answer had been given to it; and that, if the same silence should be observed during a certain time which he is pleased to limit, he would consider it as an acknowledgment, on the part of the whole Christian world, that it was unanswerable. For a considerable time, I hesitated, expecting that some more able combatant would enter the lifts against this literary giant, who has defied the armies of the living God. But a full conviction that I have truth on my side, emboldened me to engage in this work; and, notwithstanding various discouragements, to proceed in it.
