The Christian religion is justified of her children. This means that it is:
- Justified from the censures of its enemies, and
- Justified from the infirmities and miscarriages of its friends.
If a doctor prescribes an excellent remedy, and the patient observes some of the instruction but neglects the others, and the remedy doesnt hold, no blame should rest on the doctor or his practice but the blame should reside entirely with the patient. So, it is also with religion.
Religion itself remains innocent, and must be considered on its own.
Learn more of Pooles compelling argument and why he thought it was a timely argument in his day and how it is in ours as well.
