It may be said, if religion be really the very business of men, for which God made them, it is a wonder 'tis no more natural to

them. The world in general, learned and unlearned, say little about it; they are very awkward at it, as if it were contrary to their nature. I answer, 'tis no wonder; because sin has brought them down nearer to the beasts, a sort of animals uncapable of religion at all.
