"It ill comports with the majesty of truth, or the character of God, to believe that he
has built the noblest superstructure on the weakest foundation; or reduced mankind to the
miserable alternative either of remaining destitute of the knowledge of himself, or of de-
riving it from the source of impious imposture."-Robert Hall.
