Excerpt from Letters to a Friend, on the Evidences, Doctrines, and Duties, of the Christian Religion, Vol. 2 Christianity, it is true, is distinguishable from all other systems by the purity, excellency, and extent of the morality it enforces; yet this is not, I conceive, its most prominent characteristic. It no where pre sents us with a connected scheme of ethics, but it does far better in advancing the most simple precepts rela tive to every part of moral duty, and accompanying them with the most powerful incentives to upright and holy conduct. Its grand peculiarity consists in as suming the fact that man is in a fallen state, that he has lost the image of God, that he is of himself inca puble of regaining the favour of his Creator, and in providing a remedy by which man may be cured of his moral disorder; this remedy being no less than the gift of the Son of God who, in relation to mankind, is not so frequently called their pattern, as the Physician of Souls, the great Deliverer, the Saviour of the world.
