Of the authors who are quoted in this work, mostly in the History, who have written some more and some less, in support of the doctrine herein advocated (except three or four.) I have classed all together, as Universalists, who have believed in the final salvation of all men; having paid no regard to their different sentiments how God will deal with souls hereafter to make them fit subjects of happiness.

Winchester, 319 to 331-his death, 327, 340, 394. Dr. Franklin, 215, 325. Dr. Rush, 325. Dr. Priestley, 325. Gen. Washington countenances Winchester and Murray, 325, 326. John Wesley appears to be a believer, see 331 to 336. J. Huntington, 339 to 343. Wm. P. Smith, 347. Joseph Young, 347, 349. Lindsey, Grundy, Estlin. Yates, Belsham and Dr. Smith, 363.

*The writer wishes Universalists of the present day to particularly nofice Murray, pp. 317, 318. Universalists agree in so many things, they should not differ about non-essentials, and give enemies to the glorious doctrine we believe, cause to speak evil of it. The doctrine of universal salvation, and the final restoration, are both good, or infinitely better than the doctrine of the eternal existence of sin and misery. Murray, speaking of Winchester, says, "Though we are not agreed in sentiment in every particular, we join in one glorious truth; and on this ground I hail him as my friend and brother." So do ye one to another, and all be united.— See page 362.

The following is an Index to a class of texts, which, as
commonly understood, contradict the foregoing; but are il-
lustrated and reconciled. The writer thinks it will be most
convenient to arrange these texts in rotation according to

It will be seen that the writer has given the sense or mean-
ing of those much controverted texts, and reconciled them
with the foregoing, by other passages of scripture, and not
by reasoning or arguments of his own; and the following is
an index to the texts which have been quoted for that pur-
pose.

There are some typographical errors in this work, such as
the omission of words in some sentences, and in some few
others superfluous words inserted, but which do not alter the
sense, so materially, but what the reader can easily correct
them; therefore, not of sufficient importance for an errrata,
except in page 395, the 7th line from the top, after the word
Jews, omit Peter was speaking of time relating to finite
creatures," and in the tenth line, omit "and not as to time re-
lating to the Deity."

""

Some mistakes in quoting chapters and verses are corect-
ed in the foregoing index.

The friendly reader will make allowance for any imperfec-
tions in the language or style, especially when he is informed
that the writer has not had those fortunate advantages that
have fallen to the lot of many of the learned. As he bas
considered the subject to be of great importance, and equal-
ly to concern all classes of people, his greatest care has been
to write in a plain style, that may be understood by the un-
learned, who are, particularly on plain religious subjects, the
greatest number of readers. And if understood, he will be
better satisfied than if he had been able to write in a style
above their comprehension..
