A View of the INTERN AL EVIDENCE of the
CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
By Soame Jenyns, Enquire, one of the Lords Com
miffiuners of Trade and Plantations, and a Member
of the British Parliament.
'' LI AD the arguments herein uf,d, and the new
Hunts here flung out, been more largely discus
" fed, it might easily have been extended to a more
" confide able bulk; but then the busy would not have
" had 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 mud be the work of tome enthufi
" aft or methodic, some beggar, or some madman. I
" (hall therefore beg leave to assure thera, that the au
" thor is very far removed from a 1! these charafters
" that he once perhaps believed as little as themselves:
" but having some leisure *nd more curi fity, be em
" ployed them both in reviving a question which ^em
" ed to him of feme importance,—Whether Chrifti^n ;
'' '> "™ really aqimpofture founded on an absurd, in
" credible and Qfolete fable, as many suppose it? Or
" whether it is, what it pretends to be, a revelation
" communicated to mankind by the interposition of
" fupern.itural power? On a candid inquiry, he boon
" found, that the fir/t was an absolute impossibility. and
“ that its pretensions to the latter were founded on the
" most (olid grounds : In the further pursuit of his ex
" amination, he perceived, at every step, new lights
" anting, and some of the brightest from parts of it the
“ meft obfeure, but productive of the clearest 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 lame effect upon others, and be
" ing of opinion, that if there were a few more true
" Christians in the world, it would be beneficial to
" themselves, and by no means detrimental to the
" public."
