Excerpt from The Works of the Most Reverend Dr. John Tillotson: Lord Archbishop of Canterbury
I shall neither trouble the reader, nor my self, with any apology for the publishing of these sermons. For if they be in any measure truly serviceable to the end for which they are design'd, to establish men in the principles of religion, and to recommend to them the practice of it with any considerable advantage, I do not see what apology is necessary; and if they be not so, I am sure none can be sufficient. However, if there need any, the common heads of excuse in these cases are very well known; and I hope I have an equal right to them with other men.
I shall choose rather in this preface, to give a short account of the following discourses, and as briefly as I can to vindicate a single passage in the first of them from the exceptions of a gentleman who hath been pleased to honour it so far as to write a whole book against it.
The design of these discourses is fourfold.
First, To shew the unreasonableness of atheism, and of scoffing at religion; which I am sorry is so necessary to be done in this age. This I have endeavoured in the two first of these discourses.
Secondly, To recommend religion to men from the great and manifold advantages which it brings both to publick society and to particular persons. And this is the argument of the third and fourth.
