Wherefore； your testimony in whatever light it is viewed serves only
to dishonor your judgement； and for many other reasons had better
have been let alone than published。
First； Because it tends to the decrease and reproach
of all religion whatever； and is of the utmost danger
to society to make it a party in political disputes。
Secondly； Because it exhibits a body of men； numbers of whom disavow
the publishing political testimonies； as being concerned therein
and approvers thereof。
Thirdly； because it hath a tendency to undo that continental harmony
and friendship which yourselves by your late liberal and charitable
donations hath lent a hand to establish； and the preservation of which；
is of the utmost consequence to us all。
And here without anger or resentment I bid you farewell。
Sincerely wishing； that as men and christians； ye may always
fully and uninterruptedly enjoy every civil and religious right；
and be； in your turn； the means of securing it to others；
but that the example which ye have unwisely set；
of mingling religion with politics； MAY BE DISAVOWED
AND REPROBATED BY EVERY INHABITANT OF AMERICA。
