Essays on God and Man, Or a Philosophical Inquiry Into the Principles of Religion (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Essays on God and Man, or a Philosophical Inquiry Into the Principles of Religion

The author cannot offer a stone to him who asks a fish, nor can he advise a man to make much of little or little cf much; but as the voice of one crying in the wilderness, the author would advise the reader to trust himself to, and carefully obey, those universal and eternal principles of morality and religion that clearly tell him whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap.

The author was brought up in the Church of England, and taught from his earliest recollection that man cannot live on bread alone; and he believes that he has not known a day when he did not pray to that dear God who is the Father and Saviour of all. In his childhood, prayer wasimposed upon him, morning and evening; in his youth it became his conscious duty; in his manhood it is his conso lation and habit.
