And will the objector be hardy enough to say that everyman is equal to this arduous task? That he who rushes from the forge, orthe mines, with a soul distorted, crushed and bruised by base mechanicalarts, and madly presumes to teach theology to a deluded audience, ismaster of this sublime, this most important science? For my own part Iknow of no truths which are thus obvious, thus accessible to every man, but axioms, those self-evident principles of science which areconspicuous by their own lig...ht, which are the spontaneous unpervertedconceptions of the soul, and to which he who does not assent deserves, asAristotle justly remarks, either pity or correction. In short, if this isto be the criterion of all moral and theological knowledge, that it mustbe immediately obvious to every man, that it is to be apprehended by themost careless inspection, what occasion is there for seminaries oflearning? Education is ridiculous, the toil of investigation is idle. Letus at once confine Wisdom in the dungeons of Folly, recall Ignorance fromher barbarous wilds, and close the gates of Science witheverlasting bars.
