OF

MAN'S CORRUPT AND LOST ESTATE.

YE pompous sons of Reason idoliz'd
And vilify'd at once; of Reason dead,
Then deity'd, as monarchs were of old,
Wrong not the Christian ; think not Reason yours:
'Tis Reason our great Master holdsso dear ;
'Tis Reason's injur's rights his wrath resents;
'Tis Reason's voice ohey'd his glories crown;
To give lost Reason lile he pour'd his own;
Believe, and shew the Reason of a Man;
Believe and taste the pleasure of a God;
Thro' Reason's wounds alone thy faith can die.

May these well-meant endeavours of my pen, be more acceptable to you than those of my tongue ! And may you carefully read in your closets, what you have perhaps inattentively heard in the church! I appeal to the Searcher of hearts, that I had rather impart truth than receive tithes; You kindly bestow the latter upon me; grant me, I pray, the satisfaction of see. ing you favourably receive the former, from
