Review of the 9th section of Anthology of Early Baptists in Rhode Island

"...but allowing these [facts] to be correct, we are free to confess that the general view of which we have given an outline above, though novel and singular, has about it many marks of plausibility and truth. The fact that it contradicts the settled opinion of several successive generations, furnishes of course a strong presumption against it, and requires that it be well supported by reasons which cannot be controverted. But if it be thus supported, it will not fail sooner or later to find its way into the histories which may hereafter be written, of the planting of our denomination in America."
