The harmony of the divine attributes in the contrivance and accomplishment of man's redemption…

The Perfection of Christ's Laws appears by comparing them with the Precepts of Moses. The Temple-Service was managed with Pomp suitable to the disposition of the Jews, and the dispensation of the Law. The Christian Service is Pure and Spiritual. The Levitical Ceremonies and Ornaments are excluded from it, not only as unnecessary, but inconsist with its Spirituality. The obligation to the Rituals of Moses is abolished, to introduce real Righteousness. The Indulgence of Polygamy and Divorce is taken away by Christ, and Marriage restored to its Primitive Purity. He cleared the Law from the darkening Glosses of the Pharisees. And enforced it by new Obligations. The Law of Christ exceeds the Rules which the highest Masters of Morality in the School of Nature ever prescribed. Philosophy is defective as to Piety, and in several things contrary to it. Philosophers delivered unworthy Conceptions of God. Philosophy doth not enjoin the Love of God, which is the first and great Command of the Natural Law. Philosophers lay down the servile Maxim▪ To comply with the common Idolatry. They arrogated to themselves the praise of their Virtue and Happiness. Philosophy doth not propound the Glory of God for the Supreme End of all Humane Actions. Philosophy is defective as to the Duties respecting our selves and others. It allows the first sinful motions of the lower Appetites. The Stoics renounce the Passions. Philosophy insufficient ⟨p. 333⟩to form the Soul to Patience and Content under Afflictions: and to support in the hour of Death. A Reflection upon some Immoral Maxims of the several Sects of Philosophers.
