6 The Chrifian world worlhips three
infinite Gods, and one omnilcient and ON
nipreient Devil. This lait being is rather
al Object Of terror and frightful appre-
heniion, than that CT worlhip & alteration !;
but as he is cloathed with nearly all the
attributes which this fylfem Of religion
has atcfibed TO its divinity, or divinilies,
and as the latter is ALTO cloathel with
awful qualities Ct worth and vengeance,
il would be difficult 10 offer any good rea-
fon why The one ihould be entitled in tie
view of the Chriitian, to more homage
than the other, iince between them there
is 70 itrikipg a Remembrance of characters.

{" This tory Of the virgin and the
ghoa, to fay no more OF it, does not wear
the appearance of much religion, and it
would not, it is prelumed be difficult in
any age or country, to find faficient
n1moer OF men, who would pretend TO
be ghofs. if by iuch preteniions they
could obtain iimilar fayors, especially
with the con(oling teaection fuperadded,
Of becoming the progenicors OF the pre-
tended FAVOR Of a wletched and apoitate
world. How ablnrd and contradictory
are the principles and the doctrines Of this
religion In vain do its advocates ar
tempt 10 cover this tranfaaion with the
machinery Of ghoas and Supernatural
agents. The ilnple truth is, that their
pretended favor is nothing more than an
Legitimate Jew, and that their hopes Of
falvatiop through him, ret on no better
foun.a ion than that Of fornication or adult
try" p. IS. 46.

This is the work which was !eat by
Mr.. Livingston, with an afetfionate ad-
drels to Tom Paine at Paris. Paine in
return compliments the Inade Societytrom
whichit was tent, urges them to perGevere,
and gives the cheering promiie that he
would foon be over TO America himfelf
to aid their exertions. What Mr.. Jefer-
fon's letter TO the fociety contained, is
now known, but if an opinion may be
formed from his eulogium upon the wri-
tings of another member, 1t was no lefs
fatterlng than Psine's. Certain II is
that copy of the book from which the
ADORE extracts are made, was alto fent to
him With an addreis from the fociety, and
that the club were honored with letter
from the philosopher. Such men mutt the
GOOD Nh. Watts have had in view when
