Their religion, though so abundant and costly, is devoid of inward principle ; an ab- straction 5 something outward and visible, like Pharisaism of old ; not a th...ing to be taken into the bosom to purify the affections and regulate the life ; but a tiling to be done up and laid aside, as you do any outward task, and then full liberty is supposed to be allowed to do whatever one pleases.
