Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theological and Miscellaneous Works, Vol. 9 Being a Unitarian, and all the preceding general ecclesias tical historians having been Trinitarians, it was impossible but that I should see many things in a very different light from them, and therefore our representations of them will be very different, when there is no dispute about the facts. Characters of men, and of times, must vary with the senti ments ofthe writers on subjects of such importance as those in which I differ from my predecessors. Of this the reader will easily be apprized, and therefore he will make what allowance he shall think necessary on that account; and if my readers be men of candour, they will shew it on this occasion. This all Protestant writers do with respect to the writings of Catholics, from whose histories they take facts of the greatest importance, when they differ from them the most With respect to their judgment concerning those facts.
