" ty was really Inirnpofture founded on an absurd, in
" credible and obsolete fable, as many suppose it? Or
" whether it is, what it pretends to be, a revelation
" communica ed to mankind by the interposition of
" supernatural power' On a candid inquiry, be soon
" found, that the firft was an absolute im pc ffioility, and
“ that its pretensions to .the latter were founded cn the
" roost felid ground : In the further pursuit of his ex
" amination, he perceived, at every step, new lights

" most ob/cure, but produaive of the clear,eft proofs,
" because equally beyond the power of hum.sn artifice
, to invent, and human reason to discover. These ar
" guments, which have convinced him of the divine
" origin of this religi n, he has here put together in as
" clear and contife a manner as he was able, thinking
" they might have the lame cfte& upon others, and be
“ mg of opinion, ihat if there were a few more true
