Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Religious Experience of Ray Potter, Minister of the Gospel, Pawtucket

Vhen I use the words Arminian or Arminianism, I use them to avoid circumlocution, and to express, in short, the system of religion which those n be are called by this name believe to be true. And I would furthermore state that I do not mean to impeach those whom I allude to, as being Arminians with holding to all which has ever been ranked under that head - but consider them as agreeing, general ly, with Wesley, Fletcher, and that class of writers. I ask not the reader to give lace to error, ifi advance it, but I do ask him to freely a mit truth, whatever may have been his former prepossessions, and prejudices against it. I also bespeak his candour in weighing my ar uments and forming his conclusions. It is a most desirab e event that the people of God Should see eye to eye. Let us therefore hear and endeavour to understand each other. I have many brethren in my native state, with whom I have taken sweet counsel, when I was an Arminian, who now appear to look on me as a hydra-headed monster, because they say I hate turned Calvinist. Now I beg the atten tion of these brethren to the following pages, and ac knowledge that their special benefit was a subject Of no small consideration in bringing me to the conclusion to publish this work.
