To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But whe- ther Providence had seen fit to give more or less, their moral characters would have been precisely the same; the Christian who, on the one suppo- sition, would have been a Deist, would not have been less meritorious ; the Deist who, on the other supposition, would have been a Christian, would not have been less depraved. 1 could easily find, amongst you, two firm Christians, of whom the one had required twice as much evidence for his faith as the other. Does the latter attribute the t...otal rejection of Christianity to depravity of heart ? He is equally liable to the same charge from the more facile believer. No man can indicate for another the mathema- tical point at which culpable credulity ends, and culpable scepticism begins. He might as well profess to tell the depth to which a ball, with any given momentum, would penetrate into any 26 substance, without knowing the power of resistance which nature has imparted to that substance. Nor can it be said that Christianity has exactly that degree of proof which makes scepticism criminal ; for the external proof of Christianity, arising as it does from prophecy and history, must of necessity have been liable to considerable fluctuations, and is not in one generation or country what it is in another gene- ration or country.
