DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Quarterly Review of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 1852, Vol. 6 Deism. Herbert of Cherbury, wrote a book to disprove the possibility of revelation, or miracle, and with character istic credulity, tells us that he published it because of a mir acle, which revealed to him the will of God regarding it. Hobbes gave scientific form and utterance to the practical sentiment of the age, in his Leviathan. Blount and Tindal, Collins and Woolston, Morgan and Chubb, as they succes sively appeared, each became interpreter to those classes, whose minds and tastes were in harmony with their own; whilst Hume and Gibbon, Shaftesbury and Bolingbroke, threw around their sceptical mockings, the polish of rank, the brilliancy of wit, and the lustre of genius. These influ ences have been perpetuated and transmitted in various forms, and constitute one great element in the modern school of English infidelity.
