Страница lviii - I have no Genius to disputes in Religion, and have often thought it wisdom to decline them, especially upon a disadvantage, or when the cause of Truth might suffer in the weakness of my patronage.
Страница 154 - Governor of the universe,' is to talk what appears to him unverifiable nonsense. But to talk of God as 'the stream of tendency by which all things fulfil the law of their being...
