Divine Conduct, or The Mystery of Providence

Is it not then a special mercy to you to be cast into such a Country and Age, where (as a learned Divine observes) the true Religion hath the same advantages over every false one,¹ as in other Countries they have over it? Here you have the presence of precious Means, and the absence of soul-destroying prejudices, two signal mercies.

(3.) Here, in this Age of the World, Christianity bespeaks you as soon as you are capable of any sense, or impressions o• Religion upon you; and so by an happy anticipation, blocks up the passages, by which a false Religion would […] certainly enter. Here you •uck in the first notions and principles of Christianity, even with the Mothers milk: and certainly, such a prepossession is a choice advantage. Quo semel est imbuta recens servabit odorem Testa di•. Train up a Child in the way he should go, and when he is old •e will not depart from it▪ Prov. 22. 6.
