SECT: III. Divine Law. Inserenda. at p.1.
P.1. We must not expect to find our Auther as civil as
old Silences. [+] our Author little [+] Our Author , with all his piety , has very little in him of the humour of the God his Godship. Silences. Silences , as every body knows who has read
Virgil + + . 6. (and what [is a man who can a man be good for] who that has
not read Virgil?) was a good humoured, communicative God. Catch him napping , and by way of instead of a pair
of Gloves , he would sing give you a song that you should
tell you [ all manner of strange things the short and the long of things ] , in short any
thing you had a mind to know. Our author when
caught napping is not a near so civil . Let Dr
Priestly answer else. The best we could expect from
him . [in such a case should we touch him upon such tender points
as these , would be [the of] the word "miscreant"
ringing in our ears. Miscreant , a favourite appellative name
he keeps in store for [ people <add></add> ] that provoke him
like So— tis and unbelievers , [ and such like
wretcher ] A common appellative &c.
P. 42. l. 18.
[Locke's notion of this matter is [very different the reverse of
from] our authors] Locke's notion and our Author's
upon this matter are unhappily the reverse. Locke's notion is
that Moral Truths Propositions of in morality are
susceptible strictly demonstrable of the are evidence equal to that of mathematical
ones. But whereas that of Revealed truths [+] [+] he [is at much pains to prove] insists strongly comes
short of that of Mathematical.
But our Author had got his notions of evidence from
Bishop Launderson.
