Seite 45 - We have the ideas of matter and thinking, but possibly shall never be able to know whether any mere material being thinks or no;* it being impossible for us, by the contemplation of our own ideas, without revelation, to discover whether Omnipotency has not given to some systems of matter fitly disposed, a power to perceive and think...
Seite 107 - An exclusion of all parts is necessary to the existence of an immaterial substance ; and to suppose a being to be dissolved, from the very nature of whose existence a capacity of dissolution is necessarily excluded, is a flat contradiction ; — it is supposing a being to be capable, and yet incapable, of dissolution at the same time.

Seite 106 - Rich in expedients for inquietude, Is prone to paint it dreadful. Who can take Death's portrait true; the tyrant never sat. Our sketch all random strokes; conjecture all; Close shuts the grave, nor tells one single tale.
Seite 8 - Volume, that 1 have therefore drawn over the book of God the most distant shade of disrespect. The mind that can harbour such an idea, must form but a very partial conception of my undertaking. The Bible I consider as the great repository of sacred knowledge ; and moral philosophy can be no » longer right, than while it acts in concert with revelation. I consider moral truth, as an elevated mountain...
