WILBERFORCE REFUTED.
Letters to William Wilberforce, Esq. M. P.
By a LA Til/IV.
The favorite tenet of Mr. Wilberforce, via.
Hereditary Depravity, so deg'ading to human na
ture, and discouraging to every virtuous exertion,
hat at-lenglh found » powerful and latisfa&ory re
futation. "" ' -
It might have been expefled, in the prcfcst day,
that the general prevalence of good sense, and
more accurate ideas of the nature of justice in ge
neral, and of 'he divine benignity in particular,
would have committed such a do&riue as that of
LereAtary guilt to the oblivion it defsrves. JJut as
| it lias met with an eloquent defender in Mr. Wil
j bcrforce, the error may acquire new ttrength ta
