number even in the present life, that a system of opinions on the subject
of religion, admitting it it being admitted to be true be thus established, as clearly
is it contrary regard to the religion of Jesus in particular as clearly
is it true that the gi affording such establishment to the religion of
Jesus is inconsistent with his principle will as evidenced by his own
declarations as well as by his own practice. In so Nowhere is he
stated to have said directed that to the religion practiced delivered by himself
