Excerpt from Institutes of Natural and Revealed Religion, Vol. 3: Containing a View of the Doctrines of Revelation It was alfo with a view to the infirué'tion of youth, that I have been lo particular in my account of what we learn from the fcrip tures concerning God, and all the branches of human duty, and efpecially that I have quoted lo much from the fcriptures them felves on thole ftrbjeéts.

There is, befides, an authority and energy in the language of the fcriptures, which is peculiar to themfelves, and which cannot fail, when they are read and confidered with due attention, to make the molt favourable and the firongef't impreflions.
