Be Sure That Religion Cannot Be Right

That Which The People Called Quakers Lay Down As A Main Fundamental In Religion Is This- That God, Through Christ, Hath Placed A Principle In Every Man, To Inform Him Of His Duty, And To Enable Him To Do It; And That Those That Live Up To This Principle Are The People Of God, And Those That Live In Disobedience To It, Are Not God's People, Whatever Name They May Bear, Or Profession They May Make Of Religion. This Is Their Ancient, First, And Standing Testimony: With This They Began, And This They Bore, And Do Bear To The World.

It Is Admirable To Consider How Many Millions Of People Come Into, And Go Out Of The World, Ignorant Of Themselves And Of The World They Have Lived In.

To Do Evil That Good May Come Of It Is For Bunglers In Politics As Well As Morals.
