SECT. XXIII. The conclusion of this part, with a prayer
for the Jews.
IT is not the design of this treatise, to examine more nicely
into these things: nor had we treated of them at all, but to make it appear, that
there is nothing in the Christian religion either impious or absurd, which
any man can pretend against embracing a religion recommended by so great
miracles, whose precepts are so virtuous, and whose promises are so excellent. For
he who has once embraced it, ought to consult those books, which we have before shewn
to contain the doctrines of the Christian religion, for particular questions. Which
that it may be done, let us beseech God, that he would enlighten the minds of the
Jews, with his own light, and render those prayers effectual, which Christ put up
for them when he hung upon the cross.741741
