Tomlinson, not in the least stung: 'he preaches without book, they say, just like a Dissenter. It must be a rambling sort of a concern. 'That's not the worst, said Mr. Dempster; 'he preaches against good works; says good works are not necessary to salvation a sectarian, antinomian, anabaptist doctrine.
