It is not the object of the present sheets to cons
exhibit a system of divinity is no part enters not of the
object of the present sheets work. Divinity is a subject
which the design of them neither requires nor admitts not of any
touching upon that subject any otherwise than
as it is apt to be engrafted into and regulated

is not the least important is to show how the
doing of positive harm may be avoided.
