Page 276 - ... heart to receive the least check against or disaffection from the true religion established in the Church of England. I tell you I have tried it, and, after much search and many disputes, have concluded it to be the best in the world, not only in the community, as Christian', but also in the special notion, as reformed, keeping the middle way between the pomp of superstitious tyranny, and the meanness of fantastic anarchy.
