PREFACE.

THE prevalence of Infidelity at the present day is greater than many are disposed to believe. It assumes such a multiplicity of shapes and guises, that the unwary and thoughtless are often deceived by it. Its doctrines are so palatable, so much in accordance with the taste of our depraved natures, that, unless well guarded by Divine grace, we are in danger of being seduced by its allurements, and falling victims to its enchantment.

The object of this little work is to expose it in one of its most pleasing and specious forms; to tear away the mantle under which it is concealed, and present it in all its native deformity. The alarming indications of the efforts now being made by the supporters of ERROR, to extend their systems; and the influence which Universalism especially may exert upon the minds of the rising generation,-unless some counterbalancing influence be presented,-seem to be a sufficient warrant for the undertaking. We have engaged in it in humble dependance upon Divine aid, and now present it to the public, in the hope that it may be in some small degree useful in furthering the cause of Truth and pure Religion.
