=Hopkins, Samuel.= _Ct._, 1721-1803. A Congregational clergyman of Newport, Rhode Island, the founder of what has been called Hopkinsian Divinity, which differed from Calvinism in maintaining the free agency of sinners, the moral inability of the unregenerate, and ascribing the essence of sin to the disposition and purpose of the mind. His views had great influence in the modification of contemporary thought. He was a strong opponent of slavery, and his influence procured the passage of a law prohibiting the importation of slaves into Rhode Island. The System of Doctrine contained in Divine Revelation is his principal work. Others are, The True State of the Unregenerate; Nature of True Holiness; The Duty and Interest of American States to Emancipate their Slaves. _See Life by Park; Mrs. Stowe’s Minister’s Wooing; Sprague’s Annals of the American Pulpit._ =Hopkins, Samuel.= _Ms._, 1807-1887.
