Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Powers of Ecclesiastics, on the Principles of Scripture and Reason

But, though he can promife nothing ori ginal attached to no religious party, warped by prejudices to no efiablifhed creed, and un der the influence of no authority, but the au thority of the fcriptures - he hath, at leali, the merit of treading in a track wholly his own. He hath borrowed from no one. The materials are wholly drawn from his own ideas, and the belt judgement he could form from the divine record, and the malignant tendency of thofe tenets he hath attempted to overturn; and will therefore, in all probability, exhibit fome features fufiicient to mark a difference, in the manner and execution, from any other who may have written on the fame ftibjeét. And it is not impoflible, that what made fome ijnpreflion upon his own mind, if he hath been happy enough to 'exprcfs himfelf with perfpi cuity, may have a fimilar effe€t upon the minds of others.
