On the increased ^ attention to biblical studies , Mr . Kenrick builds his expectation of the advancement of the Unitarian cause . The grounds of his persuasion are thus explained : " Doubtless the adherents of other opinions will say , that they feel a similar confidence , but that they have an equal ground for it I shall not admit , until some country is pointed out to me , in which the study of the Bible has been zealously pursued with all the aids of modern erudition , and the result has
been to strengthen men ' s belief in those doctrines against which we contend . I may ask without yairi glory , by what other body of Christians has the precept to search the Scriptures ever been more unreservedly obeyed ? We seek no leave from priest or pontiff to read them for ourselves ; we are not mocked by the permission to judge of their doctrines , coupled with an injunction to interpret them in conformity with articles and catechisms . We put the sacred volume into the hands of those who are to be our future ministers in holy things , that tjiey may use their own judgment on its contents , and call them to no account for the result of their examination . The difference between
ourselves and other religious bodies in these respects , triight etaable an impartial observer to determine Which side feared , and which invited , the application of the test of Scripture to its creed .
