A View ofthe INTERNAL EVIDENC E of the
CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
By Soame Jenyns, E quire, one of the Lords Com
unffi^efs of Trade and Plantations, and a Member
of th? British Parliament.
'' U " ° the ar g uments herein used, and the new
hints here flung out, been more largely difepf
" fed, it might easily nave been extended to a more
" confide able bulk; but then the busy would not have
" hac leisure; nor the idle inclination to have it read.
" Should it ever have the honour to be admitted into
" such good company, they will immediately, I know,
" determine, that it must be the work of tome enthuf
" aft or metoodift, feme beggar, or tome madman. I
'' ihall therefore beg leave to allure thera, that the au
" thor is very far removed from all these charafters
" that hi :once perhaps believed as little as themfelvesi
" but having some leisure and more curiufity, he em
" ployed them both in lefc^lving ^ question which Item
" ed to him of fora* importance, — Whether Christian ;
" ty was really an impefture founded on an ablurd, in
" credible and obsolete fable, as many suppose it? Or
" whether it is, what it pretends to be, a revelation
" communicated to mankind by the interposition of
" supernatural power? On a candid inquiry, he loon
" found, that the firft was an absolute impoffioibty, and
" that its pretensions to the latter were founded on the
" most (olid grounds : In the further pursuit of his ex
“ amtnation, h^ perceived, at every step, new lights
"' arifihg, and some of the brightest from parts of it the
" most obfeure, but produaive of the cleanft proofs,
" because equally beyond the power of human artifice
" to invent, and human reason to difeover. These ar
'' guments, which have convinced him of the divine
" origin of this religion, he has here put together in as
" clear and concise a manner as he was able, thinking
'' they might have the fame effe& upon others, and be
" ing of opinion, that if there were a few more true
" Chriftiahs in the world, it would be beneficial to
" themselves, and by no means detrimental to the
" public."
