The opinion of one that has perused the Summer morning's conversation, concerning original sin, wrote by the Rev. Mr. Peter Clark, : in two things principally: first, that he has offered that, which has rendered it impossible the doctrine of the imputation of Adam's guilt to his posterity, should be true in the sense it is held by Calvinists. Secondly, that tho' he pretends to be a friend to the Calvinistical doctrine of imputed guilt, yet he has deserted this doctrine and given it up into the hands of its enemies, as it teaches the liableness of all mankind, without exception, to the torments of hell, on account of the first sin. To which is added, a few remarks on the recommendatory preface by five Reverend clergymen. In a letter to a friend. [One line from Job]
