In the History of his Religious Opinions" (p. 60), CARD. INAL NEWMAN says: "The writer who made a deeper impression on my mind than any other, and to whom (humanly speaking) I almost owe my soul-was THOMAS SCOTT of Aston Sandford. I so admired and delighted in his writings, that when I was an undergraduate, I thought of making a visit to his Parsonage, in order to see a man whom I so deeply revered... What, I suppose, will strike any reader of Scott's history and writings, is his bold unworldliness and vigorous independence of mind. He followed truth wherever it led him, beginning with Unitarianism, and ending in a zealous faith in the Holy Trinity."
