Synopsis

Excerpt from Remarks on the First Part of a Book, Entitled "the Age of Reason": Addressed to Thomas Paine, Its Author

Vi hen we behold the profaneness of man ners, and the contempt of things sacred, which prevail; and notice that practical disregard of every moral principle, which, in many instances, is but too conspicuous we cannot but inquire into the cause or causes, which have conspired to produce these effects, and into the consequences, of which they seem to be the ominous pre sages.
