Vol. II, p. 213.

But these doctriaes had come to be little thought of before I came into the world, and Mr. Locke used to speak of the opinions that I had always been accustomed to at Cambridge, even among the clergy there, as something new and strange to him. As, during some years before he went to Holland, he had very little in common with our ecclesiastics, I imagine that the sentiments he found in vogue among you pleased him far... more and seemed to him far more reason- able than anything he had been used to hear from English theologians. But whatever the cause, I know that since his return he has always spoken with much affection, not only of his friends in Holland, but also of the whole society of the remonstrants on account of the opinions held by them." ^ Lady Masham in the pamphlet A Discourse concerning the love of God attacks the philosophy of John Norris because she fears it will cause loss both to morality and to religion; to morality by pretending to attain something beyond in the life of contemplation while morality in this world is forgotten; to religion by trying to persuade men to an impossible practice, thus making religion and its teachers ridiculous both among thinkers who will not accept the ideas set forth and among the weaker minded who will be led to believe that they do not love God as they ought.
