"SEEING that Corrupt Principles tend to infect the Heart and Practice, it is therefore highly necessary to beware of them; we read of damnable Heresies, as well as damnable Practices, Seeing that the main Doctrines of Religion, have, in a Measure, the same Relation to Piety in Practice, as a Foundation to a Superstructure, it is therefore like building a Fabrick in the Air to inculcate the one without having regard to the other. It is doubtless a commanded and Important Duty to be Valiant for the Truth upon the Earth, and to contend for the Faith once deliver'd to the Saints: But how shall we be able to comply with this divine Precept, unless we know the Truths we are to be Zealous for? And how can we expect to know them without the Use of proper Means to that End, such as Reading, Meditation, Prayer?"
