Particularly apprehending that the gross superstitions and monstrous absurdities which had, MBT in the long established creeds and practices of some societies of religious professors, been blended with the profession of the Christian faith, but between which there was no more kindred alliance than between the olive tree and the bramble, or between light and darkness, had been a cause extensively operating to bring the Christian religion into disgrace, in the view _ of many in a nation at that time acting a conspicuous part on the continent of Europe, and raising in the room thereof, principles of infidelity, and a contempt of the benign doctrines of the gospel. For the sake of that nation he waS particularly interested as a door was then opened for free investigation, which has since, by the overturning of " principalities and powers," and the reestablishment of a species of censorship over the minds and consciences of men, been in a great measure closed.Secondly, that if, from that deficiency in a faithful, undeviating attention and obedience to the principle of divine internal light, MBT Shoes which he looked back upon with regret, and from the interruptions occasioned by those worldly embarrassments which he considered the effect thereof, he should, in the apprehension of some readers, not have arrived at a perfect clearness of evidence MBT Trainers upon every particular part of the explanations he has offered MBT Shoes Sale of the Book of Revelations, perhaps such occasional obscurity as any unprejudiced reader may suppose he has discovered, may not defeat the effect intended by the author, or render abortive the general design of the work.
