blaspheme. Again it is through the
care and goodness of the Almighty, that
from the beginning of time, through ma
ny generations to this day, our name has.
been preserved, unblotted out BY enc
mics, unreduced to nothing, with the
necessary means of preserving our lives.
But all these things are trifling, compar-
ed with our salvation. Therefore, since
God has been SO careful of us in matters
OF olittle consequence, it will be absurd
to affirm that he has neglected us in cases
OF the greatest Importance. Admit that
he has forsaken us, yet it could not have
been without a Just cause. Let us sup
pose that some heinous crime was COM
mltted by our ancestors, like to that
which We are told happened among ano.
ther race of people. In such a case,
God would certainly punisRthe crimi-
ma, but would never involve us, who are
innocent, in his guilt. Those who think
otherwise, must make the Almighty
very whimsical, iil-natured being.
Once more are the Christians more
vlr-uous, or are they not much moro
vicicds, tha4 we are If so, how comes
1t to pass that they are the objects of
Gods benehcence, whilst we are ne
elected? Does the Deity confer his
iavours without reason, and with SO
much partiality? III word, we find the
Christians much more depraved in their
morals than ourselves and we Judge
OF their doctrine by the badness of their

know 1t to be our duty to please GOd,
who has yet left us under an ihcapacity
of doing it, will this Missionary there
fore conclude that we shall be eternally
damnedf VIII he take upon him to pro-
nouncc damnation against us, for not
doing those things which he himself ac-
knowledges were impossible by US to be
done ? 1t is our opinion, that every
man is possessed Of sufficient know
ledge for his salvation. The Almighty,
for aught we know, may have commu-
nicated himself to different races of peo-
pie in a different manner. Some say
they have the viii of God in writing.
Be it so. Their revelation has no adj
vantage over ours, since both must be
equally sufficient to save, or the end of
the revelation would be frustrated. Be
sides, if they be both revelations, they
must be the same in substance, and the
difference can only lie in the modes of
communication.
He tells us there are many precepts in
his written revelation, which we are en-
tirely ignorant of. But those written
commands could only be designed for
those who have the writing. They cam
not possibly regard US. Had the Al
mighty thought so much knowledge ne
cessary for our salvation, his goodness
would not SO long have deferred the
communication of it to us. And to say
! that in matter so necessary he could
not at one and the same time equally re-
veal himself to all nkind, is nothing
! less than an absolute denial Of his ON.
impotence. Without doubt he can make
his viii manifest, without the help of a
ny book, or the assistance of any bookish
man whatever.
We shall in the next place consider
the argument which arises from con-
sideratlon of his Providence. If we be
thcwork Of God, which we presume will
not be denied, it follows that we are UNI
der the care and protection Ct God; for
it cannot be supposed that the Deity
would abandon his own creatures, and
be utterly regardless Of their welfare.
Then, to say that the Almighty would
permit us to remain in a fatal error
through 50 many ages, Is to represent
him as a tyrant. How is it consistent
with his Justice, to force a life on a race
Of mortals without their consent, and
then 70 damn them eternally without e.

virtue and Onthe other hand, that those
who behave wickedly here, will under
go such punishment hereafter as is pro-
portionate to the crimes they were gull
Is Of. This has been constantly and
invariably received and acknowledged
for truth, through every successive
generation of our ancestors. 1t could
not, then, have taken it's rise from IA
BILE for human fiction, however artfu'iy
or plausibly contrived, can never gain
credit long amongst a people where free
inquiry is allowed, which never was de-
MED by our ancestors, who, ON the con-
trary, thought it the sacred, inviolable,
natural right Of every man, to examine
and Judge for himself. Therefore, we
think it evident that our notion con-
corning future rewards & punishments,
was either revealed immediately from
heaven to some Of our forcfathers, and
from them descended to us or that it
was implanted in each of US at our Gre
alton by the Creator OF all things. What
ever the method might have been, where
by God has been pleased to make known
his will, and give us knowledge Of our
duty, it is still, in our sense, a divine re-
violation. Now we desire to propose to
him some questions. Does he believe
hat cur tOretathcrs, who were eminent
Tor their piety, constant and warm in
;heir pursuits Of virtue, hoping thereby
to gain eternal happiness, were all
l.mned ? Docs he think that we, who
are their jealous imitatOrs in good
works, and influenced b. the same mo-
tiycs as they were, earnestly endcavour-
:ng, with the greatest circumspcctiou, to
ircad the paths Of integrity, are in a
state Of damnation2 If these be his SEN
timents, they are as impious as they are
bold and daring.
In the next place, we beg that he
would explain himself more particularly
concerning the revelation he talks Of.
If he admits Of TO other than what is
contained in his written book, the con-
trary is evident from what has been
shcwn before. But if he says that God
has revealed himself to us, but not suf-
ficicndy for our salvation then we ask,
towhat purpose should he have revealed
himself to US in anywise} 1t is clean
that revelation insufficient to save, can
not put us in better condition than we
should be in without any at all. We
