Tbeir different passions prompted therti to stifle tbeVi * reasoning * f &* cutties , ahd to vindicate the
greatest absotdittes , wbdn these were pj & fcsiedi and patronised by the rultfeg powers . Besides , men with the : most upright intentions are fallible creatures , and after the
most diligent search of which ^ tfaey are capable , find many things hidden from them . Nothing then , but a light from heaven , can silence every doubt , and give us a sure foundation of confidence and
joy . But , where such a light is displayed to us in all the fulness of Majesty , where it is accompanied with miraculous power , of which God only can be the author , and when * what it reveals to
us is not only of the greatest importance , but is also in pSfect harmony with the clear , unbiassed dictates of our own minds , we may then be sure that we have the truth , and that if we be directed

The Father bore witness to his divine mission , and to all his doctrines and precious promises , by the most wonderful works : and . we should therefore consider and embrace those divine truths which he -has delivered to
us , if we would know what we must do to be saved . And to this purpose we must examine thfc New Testament , instead tff the inventions of na ^ n , if we would be trutty acquainted with the wisdom from above , and manifest our gtktitode to the God over all blessed for
ever . Let us consider then ttne grand leading truths which Jesncrs taught , and in defence of which he gave himself up even unto death .
