An attempt to nip in the bud, the unscriptural doctrine of universal salvation, and some other dangerous errors connected with it; which a certain stranger, who calls himself John Murray, has, of late, been endeavoring to spread in the First Parish of Gloucester, to draw disciples after him. : In a letter addressed to one of those that are drawn away; if possible to reclaim him and the others. To this end and in hopes that it may by the blessing of God serve also to confirm all in some of the most important doctrines of God's word, it is made public, in answer to the desire of a very repectable number of persons of reputation and influence in said parish. : To which is subjoined, the dying testimony for the truth, and against error, of their worthy minister, the Reverend Mr. Samuel Chandler, lately deceased. / By John Cleaveland, A.M. Pastor of the Second Church in Ipswich. ; [Three lines from II Corinthians].
