I hope to make it appear, that the use of reason in religion is not so dangerous as commonly represented. - John Toland

The best method, I think, of communicating to others the Truth, is that by which a Man has learnt it himself.

They are not the articles of the East or West, Orthodox or Arian, Protestant or Papist, considered as such, that I trouble myself about, but those of Jesus Christ and his Apostles.

Such is the deplorable condition of our age, that a man dares not openly and directly own what he thinks of divine matters, though it be never so true and beneficial, if it but very slightly differs from what is received by any party, or that is established by law.
