It will be no surprise at all to this Writer, should the majority of those, who have patience enough to conduct them through these pages, exclaim, "What new doctrine is this!" The general ignorance, of pure, original Christianity, is melancholy beyond expression *. Totally detached from all Sects, and Parties, a more

gusting, in this enlightened and refined Age! though one of the most elegant of the latin Fathers long ago observed, Simplex et nuda Veritas est luculentior; quia satis ornata per se est adeoque ornamentis extrinsecus additis fucata corrumpitur: mendacium verò specie placet aliena.

LACTANTIUS.

Dilucida et negligenter quoque omnibus aperta; ut in animum Veritas, tanquam Sol in oculos, etiamsi in eam non intendatur, occurrat. Quare, non ut intelligere possit, sed ne omnino possit non intelligere, curandum.
