Excerpt from Discourses on Three Essential Properties of the Gospel-Revelation Which Demonstrate Its Divine Original: With a Caution Against Infidelity, Addressed to Youth; And a Supplemental Discourse on the Supernatural Conception of Jesus Christ

You who are in earlier life, be pleased to consider yourselves as peculiarly interested in such Caution; since it is probable that the fate of Britain will much depend upon your religious or infidel complexion. And, moreover, the attempt made to throw the light of evidence, cannot be supposed to do much service to the well-informed believer in revelation; and the numerous unbelievers will admit of no information, so thick is the veil over their minds, that however repeatedly their objections have been fully answered, they retain sceptical cavils, and fanciful distastes to the evidence. Even so confirmed are their prejudices, that they can suppose prophecy and miracle never had any existence. Their most admired publications are written with an air of unaccountable assurance.

But the more effectually to intrench themselves, and colour over a fabulous system of infidelity, they have been constrained to deny a providence, and the usefulness of prayer; by virtue of which artifice, they fancy to have gained an acquisition of liberty to relax some bonds of moral obligation. Nay, had these two articles been admitted into their system, rank absurdity would have flared them in the face; and would, with great force, have retorted upon their denial of a divine revelation, because of the manifest consistency there is between them.
