Excerpt from A Letter to a Friend on the Subject of Tithe Rent-Charge: With a Reply to Henry Russell's "Observations" On Said Letter, and Some Additional Remarks on This Subject
The question at issue I take to be this: Does not a distinct difference in principle exist between Tithe and Tithe Rent charge? And may not the latter be freely paid by our mem bers Without involving a departure from the practical carrying out of our testimony against all payments for the support of an ecclesiastical system from which we dissent?
I believe the answer to both these questions, where the subject is fully and fairly investigated, will be found to be, Yes; and that consequently the non-payment of such a demand ought no longer be made' a test of religious fellow ship.
