Indeed, were a Synod of the wise and good to be imagined by the glowing fancy of an ardent visionary which should unite the widest range of learning with the richest eloquence, and the most comprehensive Christian philanthrophy with every holier grace of personal character, could it be better bodied forth than in Taylor, Mede. Smith, More, Whichcote, Rust, Worthington, and Cudworth: The Master of Jesus was not the last or least in this distinguished roll, and if he cannot be said to have produced any great original work in his own profession.

And again in another letter: --" My last was very abrupt and concise, because at that time, as I then told you, I was attentive in my devotions before the noble oracle, wch I may now, upon the reviewed solemnities of holy oath, style the most satisfying oracle in my apprehensions, that ever appeared in the converse of mortals, on this habitable globe, for discovery of all the works of nature.
