Wherefore, they should by no means wish to see churchmen adopt the principles of dissenters, by withholding their concurrence in the common cause, until their particular requests are granted, as, by such conduct, all may be lost; that, notwithstanding they think an establishment church in any State, under proper limitations and restrictions, and founded on the warrantry of Holy Scripture, is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty, the cement of society, the bond of union, and an asylum for the persecuted to fly to; yet, as this is a controverted point, they are willing it should be debated at a time when there may be nothing of more importance to engage the attention of the Assembly."
