In 1821 Carey quite openly acknowledged his appreciation for the ministry of Scott: If there be anything of the word of God in my soul, I owe much of it to Scott’s preaching. (Through Many Dangers by B.H.Edwards P. 213)

This is the same Thomas Scott who, following his contact and correspondence with Newton 16 years earlier, had ‘publicly renounced as erroneous and grievous perversion of Scripture’ his liberal thinking on the Trinity and the deity of Christ, and his rejection of the literal teaching of hell and judgment.
