Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Critical Review, or Annals of Literature, 1806, Vol. 7 If we understand Dr. Laurence rightly, those who main tain this latter opinion are, in his mind, not much nearer the truth than the adsocates of the former. If we do not mis interpret him, it is Dr. L.'s opinion, that the whole contro versy, at least under these appellations, is erroneous, extrin sicel, and irrelative. The peculiar points in controversy between the Calvinists and Arminians are of a later date than the are. Of our confessions; or if not of'a later date, at least they were not so in the contemplation of our reformers, as to constitute any part ofthat doctrine which they prescribed for public consent and approbation. Xvhen therefore we look for the peculiar opinions referred to in those authori tative documents, we seek for what they were not intended to contain and if we find our respective notions there, it is not. So much through the aid of truth, as by the help of mo dern prejudices, as by affections heated, and a brain disturbed by the Operations and influence of party-spirit and contro versy.
