Excerpt from The Life of Roger Sherman I have also endeavored to describe Mr. Sher man's religious character and opinions; and to point out that, while he was a Puritan of the Puritans, he brought to the discussion of theo logical questions the same clear insight and strong sense that distinguished his legal and his political career, and that saved him from the harsh and extravagant views which disfigured the creed of some eminent divines of his day.
