From that letter:
“Now I will avow, that I then believed, and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God: and that those Principles of Liberty, are as unalterable as human Nature and our terrestrial, mundane System. “
Amazing! - at least 'probably amazing' - that I excerpted exactly the same passage from that letter! ...let your promptness prevail in posting. It is a bit dismaying that Adams and Jefferson slipped into enmity until the end of their lives. 😥
