Excerpt from Minutes of a Discussion on the Question "Is the Punishment of the Wicked Absolutely Eternal? Or Is It Only a Temporal Punishment in This World, for Their Good, and to Be Succeeded by Eternal Happiness After Death?" Yours of yesterday has been duly received. You inform me that you have never solicited a public debate with any man, though you have never declined one; and that you have, before now, come in contact, in this way, both with the laity and the clergy. As you pro fess a willingness to do the same again we will leave the community to judge whether all that you have said and done, and written and publish ed, will amount to an invitation or not.
