183228565Charlestown MA: Published by Wm. H. Wheldon 1832. Original plain wrappers stitched 38pp. A pleasing untrimmed copy in its unsophisticated state. Toned with scattered foxing else Very Good.<br/><br/> The pamphlet is a tale of religious persecution in Massachusetts against a lady of sterling character who failed to accept the divinity of Christ but who regarded him as the Messiah and human Son of God. It exposes the ill treatment of those with Unitarian sympathies and the dangers of insistence upon religious orthodoxy. Two editions were evidently published in 1832. <br/> Mrs. Richardson sought admission to the Second Congregational Church in Charlestown where she had recently moved. Its minister sought information about her from her previous church in Reading. The First Congregational Church in Reading had expelled her for turning toward Unitarianism. Its minister explained that his Church had "withdrawn all Christian watch and fellowship" from her for "violation of her own covenant vows" and her "departure" from orthodoxy. This pamphlet describes the First Church's disgraceful treatment of Mrs. Richardson: its minister and elders had frequently quizzed her closely about her theological beliefs accused her of denying Christ's divinity scolded her for poor church attendance and for propagating "pernicious statements" to Church members and called her to account at Church meetings. <br/>OCLC records seven locations under several accession numbers as of July 2015.
