Hartford: Printed by Hudson and Goodwi, 1785. 29,[1]pp. Printed self-wrappers, stitched. Front wrapper moderately stained and soiled. Overall, a very good copy, untrimmed and largely unopened. An early printed attack on the Universalist teachings of John Murry (a.k.a. John Murray), by John Smalley, "Pastor of a Church in Berlin." Defending orthodox Puritan doctrine against Murry's claims of universal salvation, Smalley proposes: "I. To explain gospel justification. II. To consider how this is through the redemption of Christ. And, III. To show that still it is of the free grace of God" (p.4). This sermon was delivered the same year of the first explicitly Universalist declaration by an organized group in America (Mode, p.394). EVANS 19245. SABIN 82214. Peter G.
