The only science contrary to common sense and human nature is that alone which has always existed among men.

The only religion contrary to nature, to common sense, and to our pleasure, is that alone which has always existed.

Whoever judges of the Jewish religion by its coarser forms will misunderstand it. It is to be seen in the Holy Bible, and in the tradition of the prophets, who have made it plain enough that they did not interpret the law according to the letter. So our religion is divine in the Gospel, in the Apostles, and in tradition; but it is absurd in those who tamper with it.
