Excerpt from Life and Death: Or, the Theology of the Bible, in Relation to Human Immortality; Three Lectures The views here developed the Author firmly embraces; and, believing them to involve a just conception of the scheme and details of Evangelical Religion, he was induced to give them a marked prominence in the course of his ordinary ministra tions. But, reminded how natural it is for the mind, especially the Opening mind of youth and inexperience, to attach undue importance to its fresh informations, he confined them to the secrecy of his own bosom, even for some time after his convictions were fully matured, that the enthusiasm which novelty often begets might be sobered by calmer and more length ened reflection.
