The Philosopher. Sir Isaac Newton set
out in life a camorous nildel but on a

when you speak about astronomy, or
other parts of the mathematics, because
that is subject you have studied and well
understand. but you should not talk OF
Christianity, for you have not studied it

ofthe matter" This was a Just reproot,
and one that would be very suitable to be
given to half the intidels of the present day

studied and what in fact they are entirely
ignorant of. Dr. johnson, therefore, well
observed that no honest man could be a
Delst, for no man could be so, after fair
examination Of The proofs of Christianity.
