That thefe Works have {limulated fome difiinguifiied charaéters amongfl the Laity, and many amongft the Clergy, to exert their talents in removing fuch difficulties in the Chrifiian fyftem, as would Otherwife be likely to perplex the unlearned, to {hipwreck the faith of the unfiable, and to induce a reluctant fcepticifm into the minds of the moft ferions and bell intentioned. Some difficulties {till remain and it would be a miracle greater than any we are ini'truéted to believe, if there remained none; if a being with but five fcanty inlets of knowledge, feparated but yefierday from his mother Earth, and to - day linking again into her bofom, could fathom the depths of the wifdom and know ledge of Him which is, which their, one! Which is to come, - the Lord God Almighty, to whom he glory and dominion for ever and.

Excerpt from A Collection of Theological Tracts, Vol. 1 of 6
I am far from wifhing to divert the attention of the Under graduates from that courfe of f'tudies which is ei'tablifhed in this place. There is no Univerfity, I believe, in Europe, where the degree of Bachelor of Arts is more honourably obtained than i the Univerfity of Cambridge the fedulity with which the youn men, in general, purfue the plan of Rudy which is prefcribed to them, is highly commendable; and, if I recommend it to them to let Theology make a part of that plan, it is not from an opinion that Theological fludies are more proper for their time of life than any of thofe in which they are engaged but from an apprehenfion, that if they do not make fome progrefs in Divinity, during the firf't years of their Academical Education, they will have no opportunity of doing it before they will be placed in fituations which require a great proficiency in it. The Statutes indeed of the Univerfity, and of many private Colleges, though they point out Theology as the ultimate End of all our fiudies, do not order us to ftudy Divinity till we have fiudied almofl' every other branch ofscience but it ought to be remembered that, at the time thefe Statutes were made, young men were admitted into the Univerfity about the age of fourteen; and confequently commencing Mailers of Arts about the age of twenty-one, they had a confiderable interval, even after taking their fecond degree in Arts, in which they might prepare themfelves for entering into holy Orders.
