Excerpt from Sermons, Vol. 2: Translated From the Original French of the Late Rev. James Saurin, Pastor of the French Church at the Hague That spirit of inquiry which produced the Reformation, operated in France, as in all other countries, and gave being to an endless variety of different sentiments of religion. All the reformers, however, agreed in one grand article, that is, in substituting the authority of the holy scriptures in the place of the infallibility of the Bishop of Rome. The elevation of an obscure book, (for such, to the shame of Popery, the Bible had been, ) to the dignity of a supreme judge, whose decisions were final, and from which there lay no appeal, naturally excited the attention of some who were capable, and of many who thought themselves so, to examine the authenticity of so extraordinary a book. At the Reformation, the infallibility of the Pope was the popular inquiry, and, after it, the infallibility of Jesus Christ came under consideration. Curiosity and conscience concurred to search, and several circumstances justified the inquiry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
