112 ESSAY.
If such be the estimate in which the fathers are to be held ; if, as has been often asserted, they are fre- quentlv inconsistent with themselves, and with one another ; if the quotations made from their writings evince that they were not very extraordinary men; and if corruptions began under their auspices, as ear- lv as the second century, and have continued ever since ; why should they be so often called upon in dis- cussing the theological problems, or the political questions..., which belong to the church ? Or why should an acquaintance with their works, or an abili- ty to furnish extracts from their volumes, be reputed as ministerial literature? Shall the community consider the parade of such useless learning to evince great at- tainments in moral science ? Manifestly this boasted acquisition is of no other use than to exhibit the mere history of other ages; and it can bring no authority to settle any thing. Here then I might leave the appeal to the early ages, as not deserving to be prosecuted.
