What pure Chriftianity is, diveflted of all its ornaments, appendages, and corruption, I pretend not to fay but what it is not, I will venture to afiirm, which is, that it is not the offspring of fraud or fiction: fuch, on a fu perficial View, I know it mufi: appear to every man of good fenfe, whofe fenfe has been altogether employed on Other fubjeéts but if any one will give himfelf the trouble to examine it with accuracy and candor, he will plainly fee, that however fraud and fic tion may have grown up with it, yet it ne ver could have been grafted on the fame flock, nor planted by the fame hand.
