The prominent politician and Christian apologist John Shute, Viscount Barrington (1678-1734) wrote this pamphlet amidst the Salters' Hall debates in London. In 1719, 150 dissenting ministers convened at the Salters' Hall to debate subscription to the Trinity.
Originally they had convened to "heal the doctrinal differences that had. arisenamong the leading ministers there", but the dispute widened and "the debate came to be seen as a controversy over orthodoxy..." and their subscribing to the doctrine of The Trinity.
In this pamphlet, Barrington provides an account of the heated debates and advocates for peace. (Paraphrased, ODNB).
