THE Author begs leave inform the Religious Public, that he is happy he has an opportunity of contradicting the (Ipswich tidings) lately published in a scurrilous Pamphlet: as three respectable persons waited on the Accuser, and he promptly denied what had been published and widely insinuated. Shortly after, three other Gentlemen went to Ipswich, but could not see him, only, they were allowed to converse with him, through the medium of his Father, who shewed him what had been printed; and his last confession before the three last witnesses: when he DECLARED that he knew nothing of the FORMER, but that his LAST confession was the TRUTH. The Author laments that his former friends should be so imposed upon,—that so much discord, and a separation should take place, through artful and malicious characters, merely to gain an end. But such have their reward. Likewise it is necessary to declare, that the Gentlemen, before whom the former confession was made, were not the authors of that confession, as has been most grossly insinuated in the town where they reside. And as to an investigation, law-suits, and clearing up of characters, the accused has no objection to this, upon condition that every one of his opponents will first set him the EXAMPLE, but till then, he shall certainly take the sacred scriptures for his rule of conduct, and pray for more of that charity which endureth all things.
