Excerpt from Farewell Address to the Payson Church, South Boston: Delivered November 22, 1857 These preachers Spoke the truth, and spoke it in love, though some might deem them harsh and severe. I have likewise spoken the truth, and have endeavored to speak it in love. Therefore whatever of severity may be found in the Address, I am sure it is the severity of truth. And for such severity, on such an occasion and under such peculiar circumstances, I have no apology to-make.
