calculating how long it would be [when the worst
came to the worst] before these two sublime dictates
of the moral sense would become fixed
and immoveable against all [profound]
gainsayers.

One of the most powerful causes of† † these notions among mankind are distressful inconsistencies [all this] is
an the opinion well or ill founded, that their Religion
these practises. Now say they, if tendency
to promote happiness be the standard of right
and wrong in Actions, how comes it that the
Deity a benevolent being condemns forbids actions that are
approved by it. Our religion, it is true, forbids
such actions; but we are resolved our religion
shall be the true one. We must therefore find out some
other standard; by which all the sorts of Actions
which it forbids stands reprobated.

Whereas they ought to have perceived,† † With Bishop Warburton J.D. Brown Bishop Warburton's Dr. Brown that either
their religion is not the true one, or if it is these
dictates cannot belong to it

make one, let this standard be our opinion, to
which to save appearances we will give another name
