It may be of interest to state, that the facts therein named are the recollections of old Dr.McClay, a Baptist minister of known power and veracity.

The fact of Paine's miserable, and cowardly, and man-forsaken end is too true.

Let no one be foolhardy enough to follow them, rejecting to do it, a fourfold cord of strong testimony; nay, we may add, a stronger cord of fivefold testimony, as Paine's nurse testifies like the rest.
In the East these facts are so notorious that even Infidels disown allegiance or attachment to Paine, if they wish to be considered respectable.

Some of the severest denunciations against him, which we ever heard, have been from Infidels.

Indeed this is more than plain from the very fact of all the Infidels having forsaken Paine on his death-bed.
