Logic or Ethics Ch. Fortitude

§.2. Aristotelians

3

Aristotle had not Jesus little as he seems to have any
and they had become a founder of Bishopricks & Fellowship

These absurdities would make be a perfect riddle,
To account for To understand the cause of these absurdities, it is necessary
to advert to the hands through which, before they
on their its way to the eyes and ears of Oxford students, the doctrines
of Aristotle had to pass.

The morality of the heathen being taken for the
groundwork foundation main text, to fit it for all such orthodox eyes many amendments
required to be made in it, an embroidering of amendments
nor that of a scanty one, required to be applied to it.

The word virtue was found notwithstanding
the sparing mention made of it in the Christian Scriptures,
still maintained itself in the possession of general
not to say universal homage. Be the act what it
might, if it were supposing it generally understood that the quality of virtue
could without impropriety be applied to it, neither judgment
nor therefore language of a condemnatory nature, could
not consistently nor therefore would willingly be
applied to it.

What was to be done? The dilemma
was a distressing one. Here were two masters, Aristotle
and Jesus, were at variance. No man can serve two
masters. To serve two masters, and those masters
issuing contradictory opposite commands was not in human
power.+ + Luke 16.13.
One was to be cloven to, the other to be ...d
The choice was not difficult Aristotle was indeed a hero: but Jesus was a God. Aristotle
had founded neither {enthroned} a Bishoprick nor so much as
fellowships. Jesus, little as he for aught appears,
he thought of such a thing had become a founder of
both, clothing his Bishops in the livery robes of Divines, and seating
them on thrones.
