AN

APPEAL

ΤΟ

MATTER OF FACT AND COMMON SENSE;

OR,

A RATIONAL DEMONSTRATION

OF

MAN'S CORRUPT AND LOST ESTATE.

Ye pompous sons of Reason idolized
And vilify'd at once; of Reason dead,
Then deify'd, as monarchs were of old;

Wrong not the Christian; think not Reason yours;
'Tis Reason our great Master holds so dear;

'Tis Reason's injured rights his wrath resents;
'Tis Reason's voice obey'd his glories crown;

To give lost Reason life he pour'd his own;
Believe, and show the reason of a man;
Believe, and taste the pleasure of a God;

Through Reason's wounds alone thy faith can die.

The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.-Luke xix, 18.
