Excerpt from Short Explanation of the Nicene Creed: For the Use of Persons Beginning Study of Theology Some apology is due for venturing on a subject so mysterious, and on which so many of the highest intellects have exercised them selves. It seems no small presumption to follow, at however respectful a distance, in the footsteps of Bishop Pearson.
