Excerpt from The Great Red Dragon: Or the Master-Key to Popery As a christian people, it becomes us to examine carefully the grounds of our belief, and to decide with due caution for ourselves, whether the doctrines and standards of faith proposed for our acceptance by any set of men, con form with those handed down to us by the fathers. By placing this book in the hands of the American reader, he Will be enabled to compare it with the only safe rule of faith and practice, the blessed Gospel of Christ, which is all truth, purity, and wisdom, and cannot mislead.
