In a 1774 letter to the editor about Jesus Christ’s nature
A reader challenges the Athanasian creed and Mr. Romaine on Christ’s equality with the Father. The correspondent urges Athanasian defenders to vindicate that Jesus is not inferior in any respect while arguing Christianity should not be branded as idolatry. The letter also trails into poetry and parliamentary notices, including bills, elections, and maritime news.
