15, [1 blank] pp. Disbound, outer leaves loosening. light scattered foxing, else Very Good. This notable Address warns that excessive entanglement of religious and civil power is dangerous. Like other Universalist ministers, Fuller admonishes his followers to be wary of those who seek to entangle Christian politics with political power. The Address opposes the infiltration of religious influences into the political arena, and reminds that religious persecution against lesser-favored religions could ensue. "Even now there are regions where the infuriated demon of persecution unfurls her blood stained banner, and demands that unnumbered victims should bleed at the foot of her unrighteous throne! . . . The past history of the Christian Church, should be a solemn warning to us, never to permit an alliance to be formed, between the priesthood, and the civil magistracy, between Church and States powers." Fuller called for the "united exertions of the friends of equal rights. . . to suppress clerical intolerance" and argues for civil and religious freedom in the name of Washington and his fellow patriots. Fuller edited the "Philadelphia Liberalist" and the "United States Journal," which was formerly known as "Fuller's Literary and Business Journal." AI 1533 [4]. Not in Sabin, Eberstadt, Decker.
