Oracles of reason, as formed by the Deists, are husks for deistical and heathen swine: but the truths of the Gospel are bread for God's children : A concise, but plain answer, to Gen. Allen's Oracles of reason: shewing the unreasonableness of them, and the principles of the Deists, Arians, Socinians and Universalists, and the excellency of the Holy Bible; as containing a most refined system of morality; and the wisest, easiest and best method for the salvation sinners that can be devised or desired. : The great doctrines of substitution, vicarious sufferings, and atonement, are here explained. / By Common Sense. ; [Three lines from Theanthropos].
