The American Whig (Numb.IX) Which treateth of the trumpet of
sedition, which may be found in the 18th line of the 41st
page of the epistle general of St. Thomas. . . [2 columns]
Accordingly, says he, no trumpet of sedition was ever heard
to sound from our pulpits. . . This trumpet, I am confident,
is as faithfully sounded from dissenting, as from episcopal
pulpits; and I am farther confident, that the sound thereof
is of much greater moment to the cause of virtue and true
religion, than the obstreperous noise of that little paultry
Rams-Horn of Episcopal-Sectarianism, (which is constantly
blown whenever the society will club for a blower,) to
increase the party by a collection of fugitives from other
religious societies. . . [4 more lines] It is in a word, a
trumpet of infinitely greater importance to the souls of
men, than the creaking, squeaking, streaking bagpipe of
Arminianism, which is perpetually played by those who have
solemnly sworn and subscribed never to play it; and whose
unscriptural whistlings, are enough to whistle us all into
perdition. . .
