Synopsis

Facts In Reply To A Letter Addressed By. G. M. To The Protestant Dissenting Congregations Of Strand Street And Eustace Street. By A Member Of The Congregation Of Strand-Street is a 1842 Irish pamphlet written by a member of the Strand-Street congregation in Dublin. It responds to a letter attributed to George Mathews and defends the principles of Protestant dissent, liberty of conscience, and non-subscription to creeds. The tract critiques Mathews’s historical and doctrinal claims, arguing that the Dublin churches originated with a spirit of religious liberty, rather than strict adherence to the Westminster Confession, and that the non-subscribing tradition allowed for private judgment in matters of faith. It provides a sweeping account of the Dublin associations and trusts, including Wood-street, Cook-street, New-row, Plunket-street, Usher’s-quay, and Mary’s-abbey, and explains how the General Fund and royal bounties were managed in the service of Protestant dissenters. The author condemns legal coercion against congregations, defends the use of endowments for Protestant dissenters generally, and asserts that religious liberty and property rights must be protected from ecclesiastical or civil interference.
