Had this rule of good sense, adopted in every other department of sci ence, been appljed to Christianity (as in, all fairness it ought universal faith must have been the consequence-- But it is much easier to' cavil than to reason; a laborious deduction from particulars, tho' a &uce, is a slow process for the discove ry of truth ; and hence a ready and com peudious method has been adopted, to dispose of Christianity, without the trou ble to investigate its evidence or consider its claims. Arguments a priori (if arguy ments they may be called) have been brought forwaid ; ingenmus criticism, su perficial learning, and above all, delicate ridicule for the r re fined, and coarse ribal dry for the vulgar have been made the nu ans to unsettle the faith of men capa ble of better things ; while, all along, the question of Christianity, as a question of Hact to be tried by a fair and dispassion ate examination of its proofs, has been overlooked or forgotten-.' Hence, at times, it has been fashionable to speak, or at least to think, of our religion, as the fit solace of old wives and ignorant mechan ics, but little wonfiv the attention of the learned and polite. Hence, with too ma ny, it has become fashionable to reject this religion : a religion, which, for eigh teen hundred years, has exercised a con trolling influence over the affairs of man kijad ; which, with all the evils made to accompany it, by the vice and folly of its professed totari.es., has, 'by its own ener gy, elevated the character of man where ver, it has come ; which' has subduedthc violence, enlarged the benevolence, and increased the happiness, of he human ' race j which has numbered amongst its friends anil supporters-, tho most dis tinguished for.high mental endowments j and which proves itself worthy of all ac ceptation, by the pure and elivated mo lality it teaches a morality, which, tho' often sought for, the wit "ef man could or our to you of serious piety,. as a reproach. jjion assumes to solve.
