To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We may perhaps even fee an impropriety of any mode of direc~b addrefs to the Deity ; and rejoicing in the full perfuafion that we have of the benevolence and wifdom of the Supreme Being, indulge no fentiments but thofe of gratitude and joy. But that petition, as well as thankfirumg, is adapted to the prefent ftate of human nature, and human life, and that it becomes even the moil intelligent of men to join with the vulgar in that practice which Mr. Paine fo much ridicules, I have the fulleft pe...r- fuafion. D Prayer 3. 4 Letters to a Prayer is a neceflary ilep in the intellectual and moral improvement of man. That habitual regard to God, which does not imply any direct addrefs to him, but (as Dr. Hartley has ad- mirably and philofophically explained the pro- eefs) eminently contributes to exalt and purify the mind, cannot be attained without it. As good and -as pious a man as Mr. Paine may be (and on this, no doubt, he founds the hope he exprefTes to have p. 8, of happinefs beyond this life) I am confident he would have beeiHnore pious, and con^uj;ntly more v i rtuous > if h g k a ^ made conference of daily prayer, tho' it may be too late for him to make the experiment of having recourfe to it now.
