I have endeavoured to explore the inmost recesses of my heart, and, having discovered no secret motive there which should induce me to reject a religion so well calculated to supply the defects of my reason, to comfort me under affliction, and to advance the perfection of my nature, I receive this religion as the greatest blessing that Heaven in its goodness could confer upon mankind. And I should still receive it with gratitude, were I to consider it only as the very best and most perfect system of practical philosophy.
