(((implacable, unmerciful!" The Jews had been favored with more ample revelations; but their clearest lights were only shadows of good things to come. Their system was incomplete, and, indeed, destitute of meaning, disjointed from the luminous & perfect dispensation of the Messiah. Add to this that they had corrupted their law, had lost its spirit; and many of them added to the profligacy of Pagans, the pride & intolerance of bigots. Philosophers had in vain endeavored to teach men to know God & themselves. They could not teach what they words crossed out did not know. Moralists had endeavored to withstand the flood of inequity which inundated all classes; but without success. They were themselves carried away.))) Religion had become, among Jews, the cloak of all corruption; among gentiles its most prolific source. Art, science, & literature reared their proudest monuments amidst the desolations of a moral world; and God alone, it at length appeared, could shed the light
