arguments there made use of will be such as are
addressed rather to the Passions than to the Judgement.
The idea of a God will no more be assailed by the
conclusions of drawn from Reason, than arth in the minds of
the generality of men it is supported. The credibility

objections driven derived from the tenor of other Histories,
nor by refined speculations concerning the competency
of Evidence. The way by wh method force of this Sanction will
be rather chided than opposed: the tempter will rather
try to divert the attention of his auditors from the
idea of God's displeasure, than directly contest

was not corrupted by their Fears. In mentioned cowardice,
he will find himself touching that he touches upon a fibre
