To the distrust of which I have spoken, must we attri- bute the innovations with which puffed-up ignorance has covered that system, until its pyebald inconsisten- cies mock and dismay the student at every step. To this too, we may ascribe the success of that empty empiri- cism which defies science and probability, and adopts its thousand blundering and fatal modes of antedating the maturity of our obligation to the universal creditor — death; to this too, the wild philosophies w T hich give the... mind of a nervous child, when asleep, supernatural pow T er to voyage through regions heretofore traversed by the wings of angels only ; and to this the more dangerous fantasies which fabricate new faiths, the profane absur- 15 dity of whose creeds would have shocked the dullest ignorance that preceded the light of revelation.* This very boldness arises from the want of that spirit which, while it inquires into all things, holds on to that which is good. Inconsiderate and sudden movements of the mass are seldom safe or wise.
