Summary
Acknowledging that Dr. Seabury's sermon is in circulation by the post office "gratis - gratis - gratis;" asking if he would write an answer in a pamphlet to be distributed as widely as Dr. Seabury's sermon; saying that the "friends of Order in N. York must do more than they have done. The encouragement to the Enemy is greater than they give to circulate the truth. These are times which try mens souls whether they love God and his truth more than their money. I pray God to bless your labours. I admire your talents and love your principles. The Protestant cause must be sustained or we are lost."
