Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scripture the Only Guide to Religious Truth It may be expected that some reasons should be given for presenting the following pages to the Public, especially as it is known by many that, at one period, we were not the most friendly to publications on Religion. This arose from the certain knowledge we had gained by experience, as well as observation, that a very improper use is too often made of them, and from thinking that a simple honest attention to the scriptures would answer every beneficial purpose; for it it is evident that great numbers of religious people, of certain descriptions, do in fact, though not in profession, seek more for a knowledge of their state, and more for assistance and assurance of their safety from the writings and experience men, than they do from the scriptures. Neither is this to be wondered at, when we consider their ideas of the depravity of their nature, and that the scriptures cannot be understood without supernatural assistance. However, we can assure the Reader that these Letters were originally written at the earnest request of a Friend, without any determinate idea of publishing them. Since they were finished, a number of reasons presented themselves which have induced us to make them public. We have been grossly misrepresented. We have been made to speak sentiments which we do not believe. We have been considered as enemies to religion, almost without a hearing. It has been thought that we deny the use of prayer and the work of the Spirit; that we have no experience, are contrary to all men, and maintain that none will be saved but ourselves, &c.
