Sobre este artículo
New London: Printed by Brother Samuel Green, 1795. 23, [1 blank] pp. Stitched and removed. Else Very Good
Seabury was the first bishop of the Episcopal Church in America. He sided with the British during the Revolution and, for a time, was imprisoned in New Haven. After the War he "had little sympathy for the prevailing liberalizing ideas of his American brethren" [DAB].
Secret Societies such as Freemasonry aroused much suspicion and dislike in increasingly democratic America, because their secret oaths suggested a loyalty and an exclusivity that superseded love of country. But Seabury asserts that Freemasons exemplify the pre-eminent Christian doctrine of "brotherly love;" and that their "object is the peace, order, and welfare of the human race; and whose aim is the establishment and cultivation of unity, brotherly love, and benevolence." Opposing the Masons are "the evil propensities of wicked men."
Evans 29481. Johnson 1299. ESTC W38032.
