Excerpt from The Works of the Right Reverend William Warburton, D.D., Lord Bishop of Gloucester, Vol. 5 of 12 But least of all shall we receive light from the fantastic visions of our English Cocceians who have sublimed the crude nonsense of the Cabalists, so long buried in the dull amusement of picking Myste ries out Of letters, into a more spiritual kind Of folly a quintessence well defecated from all the impurities of sense and meaning. Therefore, to understand the nature Of the Jewish Economy, we must begin with this truth, to which every page of the five books of Moses is ready to bear witness, That the separation of the Israelites was in Or der to preserve the doctrine oj the unity, amidst an idolatrous and polytheistic World. The necessity of this provision shall be shewn at large hereaftert. At present we only desire the Deist would be so civil as to suppose there might possibly be a sufficient cause.
