Whatever may be pretended, the congregation do not feel that concern in the subject of these prayers which must be felt 'ere ever prayers be made to God with earnestness. The state style likewise seems unsea-' sonably introduced into these prayers, as ill according with that annihilation of human greatness of which every act that carries the mind to" God presents the idea That it contain as few controverted propositions as possible: We allow to each church the truth of its peculiar tenets, and all the' importance which zeal can ascribe to them. We dispute not here the right or the expediency of framing creeds, or of imposing subscriptions. But why should every position which a church maintains be woven with so much industry into her forms of public worship?

"Revered Wisdom: Christianity" offers an abridged edition of William Paley's seminal work, "A View of the Evidence of Christianity", which was required reading at Cambridge University until the twentieth century. A classic in the world of theological debate, the book argues, in lucid prose, the genuine nature of the intellectual credentials of Christianity. Although today William Paley is a controversial figure, as many of his assertions laid the foundation for the Intelligent Design movement, there is no doubt of the influence and importance of his work.
