Excerpt from Reflexions Upon Mr. Toland's Book, Called Christianity Not Mysterious: With Some Considerations About the Use of Reason in Matters of Religion, in a Letter to a Friend In doing this I shall, First, take notice of some things in his Book, which I think dishonourable to God, and dangerous to Religion, not intending however to reflect upon all that is erroneous, but only upon those things that are of greatest Consequence in this Controversie of the Mysteries of Faith. Secondly, I shall shew you as clearly, and in as little room as I can, what is the true Use of Reason in Matters of Religion, with particular Application to the Doctrines relating to the Blessed Trinity, being the Matters chiefly aimed at in this Controversie. Mr. T - d begins his Book with what he calls Stating the Controversie, where, after he has represented his Adversaries Opinions, as Men use to do those things they have a mind to expose, he tells us in short what his own Thoughts are, We hold that Reason ts the only Foundation of all Certitude, and that nothing revealed, whether as to its Manner, or Existence, is more exempted from its Disquisition, than the ordinary Phenomena of nature -- That there is nothing in the Gospel contrary to Reason, or above it, and that no Christian Doctrine can be properly call'd a Mystery.
