Riassunto

Excerpt from Scriptural Rights of the Members of Christ's Visible Church, or Correspondence Containing the Reasons of Dr. Ryerson's Resignation of Office in the Wesleyan Methodist Church

The Correspondence in the subsequent pages shows with what feelings and sentiments I retired from the councils of the conference; and I could not have supposed that any members of that body were capable of excludm'g from the public records of its proceedings what the Cone ference had deemed a bare act of justice to an individual who had laboured nearly thirty years in connexion with it, and often performed most difficult services and labours m its behalf. Such a proceeding will reflect more dishonour upon its authors than upon me, in the judgment of every honourable and Christian mind in Upper Canada, of whatever peisuasion or party. I am happy to believe that this poor imitation of the system of the Index Expurgatorius cannot blot from the memories of an older generation in the Church recollections of labours and strugs gles of which the expurgators know nothing but the fruits - among which are the civil and religious privileges they enjoy.

I have also been credibly informed that, while the real grounds of my resignation and the judgment of the Conference upon my conduct and laboburs during many years connexion with it, are withheld from the Wesleyan public, insinuations are circulated, that my resignation has been dictated by ulterior political objects -an idea which I have never for one moment entertertained, and which is foreign, as far as I know, to the thoughts of every public man in Canada.
