The Unitarian Jared Sparks had written a "long and violent" critique of Samuel Miller's sermon, which critique was published in the Unitarian Miscellany. Here is Millers defense of his sermon in which he answers the questions, Who are entitled to the sacred name of Christian? and What is the scriptural foundation of a sinner's hope toward God?
Samuel Miller, D.D., LL. D. (1769-1850), b. at Dover, Delaware.
