Clerical Sees Echo in Eclectic Society Sermon Debate
The Eclectic Society centered on Newton faced critique from John Clayton who preached a political sermon favoring government aligned action and drew rebuke from Robert Hall. Bull urged ministers to avoid politics entirely, while peers valued freedom with restraint. The volume closes by noting revived evangelical efforts and asks for future work by Dr Waddington, urging less lengthy quotations from sermons and tracts.
