I HAVE heard it said that a British nobleman said to his
son, if he intended to ruin any person, fay every thing of
him, and fimething would take place. I would observe also,
that, when a man brings in to fopport his cause then, nn
fubpmed, and others of no weight in the cause, he himfclf
it diffident. Parnassus labours mightily to transfer the con
troverfrof a few individuals against the College to the Gc^
neral mfcmbly^ but produces no evidence: And undertakes
to assert reasons for the Assembly's a&ing which do not ap
pear to be reasons. He gets behind the bush, and throws
out his foggeftions and aversions, with an evident deign to
lower the importance of the Corporation, in such a manner
that they ma, have their eff<& (when it is not proper, nor
even in their power to answer) before the fitting of the As
sembly when chefe things are to have their effift.
It it ver, possible that feme of his acquaintance might
cell him that the ^ffembly would have done more for College
bad the, not difputcd every inch of ground; but it doth not
appear that the, ever diluted any ground, mere cfpecially
That the ground is. As to the appointment of committees, as
mentioned, it doth not appear that it was any thing more
tha n a friendly visit, in which they were well faiisfied : And
leather believe it was so. If Parnafrs intended to evince
anything more, he should have given us a copy of their ap
pointment, their names, commiflion and report, and the ac
ceptance oftbat report: and what those points are they Io
much Rand upon. It doth not appear that they stand upon
any which the utfemblj do not juftify : Neither do I believe
they ever did. There arc feme pointe, I hope, they will ever
hand upon. Parnafos would have them joined by other
Profefliont to learn them to be polite, even fi polite (hypo
critical he should have said) as to thank those servants,
whom they long wanted to get rid of, for their good fer
vfces.
Parnafos finds fault that the, did not accept the anabaptift
Norsks upon a shameful condition, which, if they had done
it, would have been ground for objedion that they had in
troduced erroneous books, and have given up the government
or College: and Pamafoslikely would have been the firft to
have complained. There was a timewhen DoCtor Taylor of
fered the whole of his works to the College, and there was
one book among them much wanted and a very good
book: But as the Doctor was looked upon erroneous, President
Clap refufed them. Parnassus might have complained of
this also: But it would have shewn too much the faring of
his motion. Another mifdemeanour is in appointing offi
cers or servants they neglected co fellow ParnafluCs lulled
recommendation. Perhaps they a^dupon petlonal know
ledge which is better. They appointed persons equal to the
bu&iefs, andprobably as good as those recommended: This
Parnafos dues not deny.
As co their ufagte to the Profeffor, I think the, would
have been blameworthy to have continued a man in office
that had never taken the oath of fidelity, when it was laid
before them as matter of complaint, without proposing it
to him, or ever co have run after him when he took miff and
Went away. As Ichink thetwo addresses carry in them their
own answer and a full juftification of the treatment he met
with, on that head I sbJI not add.
As to a French fcbool being kept where young gentlemen
are preparing to be made gofpei-miniflers, I think it had
better be in fume other place ; though I believe the cir
cumstances refpeaing that matter arc very much misrepre
sented, as also the affair of the Orrery. When any person of
4 edit represents such jh,cfongimprobabilicics heshould sign
Ais name, cfpecially when one shews such an cxccfs of cn
gagednefs to flatter those that have power, and abuse those
that have none. On which account, I hope and trust, no
unprejudiced person will judge of the parts in his perform
ance unnoticed as conceded to as being fair; for, in truth, I
think none of it so. Parnassus cells us that in 1753, the Ge
neral ~4ffembiy recommended the fettling a Profeflor of Di
vinity in the College chat the scholars should have the best
patterns of preaching; but had no idea of a College pastor
and church colliding there. How doth he know that)
Why not? Were the communicants to go and hear preaching
in the chapel, and go away to some other place to partake ?
Or, Were they to be without the enjoyment of fpeciai ordi
nances ? But what is thatto the purpofc unicis he would
have them communicate with the church they broke off
from ? That he might have something more to cavil about,
be goes on co fay that a few words of difference between
President Clap and Mr. Noyes was the cause of withdrawing
the College from the fociec, in New- Haven, and is concern
ed what answer will be given when it shall be asked, Why
the students do not attend public worship with the congre
gations in town? Now it is scarce possible that a perlon, so
well acquainted as Parxaffus appears to be, can believe tty
was the true reason. Was that the true reason why great
part, if not the major part, of the fi ft Society in New-Haven,
and great part of the society in Wallingford drew off I If he
will give the reason for these, it will serve in the case of the
College. The affair of Mr. Noyes, I think, is very unfairly
represented. If I was disposed to repeat and perpetuate
grievances, and raise the dead, I could tell him more than
he Seems to be willing the public should know about those
reparations.
Since Parnassus is so daringly erroneous as to impute the
setting up preaching in the chapel on the Sabbath, &c. to a
few words between Mr. Clap and Mr. Noyes and give it out
to the public : And so outrageously mad as to compare the
days of our pious forefathers and the ministers of those days
to the dark days of popery and the ministers in them, I think
it nccdlefs to follow him any further.
I am the public's humble Servant,
