The writers against religion, whilst they oppose every system, are wisely careful never to set up any of their own.

The body of all true religion consists, to be sure, in obedience to the will of the Sovereign of the world, in a confidence in His declarations, and in imitation of His perfections.

But the religion most prevalent in our northern colonies is a refinement on the principle of resistance, it is the dissidence of dissent, and the protestantism of the Protestant religion.

Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.

Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.

It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.
