6862. PRESBYTERIAN SPIRIT, Liberty and.—

The Presbyterian spirit is known
to be so congenial with friendly liberty, that
the patriots, after the Restoration, finding
that the humor of the people was running
too strongly to exalt the prerogative of the
crown, promoted the dissenting interest as a
check and balance, and thus was produced
the Toleration Act.—
