No sooner was the publication of his “Scripture Scales,” or “Equal Check to Pharisaism and Antinomianism,” completed, than he committed to the press the following: “The Fictitious and the Genuine Creed: Being ‘A Creed for Arminians,’ composed by Richard Hill, Esq.; to which is opposed ‘A Creed for those who believe that _Christ tasted death for every man_.’ By the author of the ‘Checks to Antinomianism.’ London, 1775.” 12mo, 52 pp. The reader will remember that, in bad taste, Fletcher, in 1772, had published, in his “Fourth Check to Antinomianism,” a “sweet gospel proclamation: Given at Geneva, and signed by four of His Majesty’s principal Secretaries of State for the Predestination Department—John Calvin, Dr. Crisp, The Author of P.O.” (Richard Hill), “and Rowland Hill.” This provoked Richard Hill; and, when he published his “Three Letters written to the Rev. J. Fletcher, in the year 1773,” he, in equally bad taste, attached an “Appendix” to his Letters, entitled, “A Creed for Arminians and Perfectionists.” Now, in 1775, Fletcher felt it his duty to examine the Creed so ingeniously drawn up by Mr. Hill, and to expose its fallacies. The following is an extract from Fletcher’s preface:— “With regard to our extensive views of Christ’s redemption by price, Mr. Hill calls us _Arminians_: and with respect to our believing that there is no perfect faith, no perfect repentance in the grave; that the _Christian_ graces of repentance, faith, hope, patience, etc., must be perfected _here_ or never; and with respect to our _confidence_ that Christ’s blood, fully applied by His Spirit, and apprehended by faith, can cleanse our hearts from all unrighteousness before we go into the purgatory of the _Calvinists_, or into that of the _papists_, that is, before we go into the valley of the shadow of death, or into the suburbs of hell—with respect to this _belief_ and _confidence_, I say, Mr. Hill calls us _Perfectionists_; and, appearing once more upon the stage of our controversy, he has lately presented the public with what he calls, ‘_A Creed for Arminians and Perfectionists_’, which he introduces in these words: ‘_The following confession of faith, however shocking, not to say blasphemous, it may appear to the humble Christian, must inevitably be adopted, if not in express words_, yet, _in substance, by every Arminian_ and _Perfectionist whatsoever; though the last article of it chiefly concerns such as are ordained ministers in the Church of England_.’ And, as among such ministers, Mr. J. Wesley, Mr. W. Sellon, and myself peculiarly oppose Mr. Hill’s Calvinian doctrines of _absolute election_ and _reprobation_, and of a _death-purgatory_, he has put the initial letters of our names to his Creed; hoping, no doubt, to make us peculiarly ashamed of our principles. And, indeed, so should we be, if any ‘_blasphemous_’ or ‘_shocking_’ consequence ‘_inevitably_’ flowed from them.”
