Quest. What then can be our Invariable Northpole in Re∣ligion, in such a Wide and Tumultuous Ocean?

Answ. I hope you have not forgotten what was at first given in Instruction concerning Natural and Revealed Religion, their exact Agreement with one another, and with all our Faculties; so that no Religion in the World can deserve the Name of a Religion, but looks monstrous and horrid, only so far as it borrows some or more of the Grand Principles of our True Religion; nor can be at all Weighty and Considerable, but is vain and ridicu∣lous, if it receive no Ballast from True-Religion.

That then, which was accounted for in the beginning, being remembred, I shall especially apply my self to ascertain True Christianity in contradiction to the false, or Popish Christianity, by that which will much ascertain all True Religion also in General, and difference it from all False Religion.
