A View of the INTERNAL EV TD ENC £of the
CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
By Soame Jenyns; Enquire, one of the Lords Com
missioners of Trade and Plantations, and a Member
of the British Parliament.
" LI A ° the arguments herein used, and the new
hints here flung out, been more largely difeuf
" fed, it might ealily have been extended to a more
" cenfideabh 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 must be the work of tome enthufi
" aft or methodist, some beggar, or some madman. I
" shall therefore beg leave to assure them, that the au
" thor is very far removed from all these characters
" that he once perhaps believed as little as themselves :
'' but having some leisure and more curiosity, he em
" ployed them both in resolving a question which seem
" ed to him of some importance,— Whether Christian ;
" ty was really an imposture founded on _an abiurd, in
" credible and obsolete fable, as many suppose it? Or
" whether it is, wh.lt 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 impossibility, and
“ that its pretensions to the latter were founded on the
" most febd grounds : In the further pursuit of his ex
" amination, he perceived, at every step, new lights
" arifaig, and some of the brightest from parts of it the
" most obscure, but productive of the clearest proofs,
" because equally beyond the power of human artifice
" to invent, and human reason to difeover. These ar
-66 guments, which have convinced hin 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 effect upon others, and be
“ ing of opinion, that if there were a few mere true
" Christians in the world, it would be beneficial to
“ themselves, and by no means detrimental to the
'' public."
