To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then, I find in the Old Testament no promise of a spiritual Messiah, but only of a temporal king, who as the Jews believe, is yet to come. The serpent in Genesis has no connexion with the spirit of evil, but is DISCUSSIONS ON TH£ VISION. 83 described only as the most subtile beast of the fieldi and having injured man, there was to be a perpetual enmity between their races, the serpent when able was to bite the heel of the man, and the man when an opportunity oc-> eurred was to bruise the head o...f the serpent. I will allow, if you please, that an instinct of religion or superstition belongs to the hu- Hian mind, and that the different forms which this instinct assumes depend upon various circumstances and accidents of history and climate ; but, I am not sure that the religion of the Jews was superior to that of the Sabaeans who worshipped the stars, or the ancient Per- sians who adored the sun as the visible symbol of divine power, or the eastern nations who in the various forms- of the visible universe worshipped the powers and energies of the Divinity.
