_Theogenes._ I have not the least doubt about any of these things. It is visible, that there can be no medium in this matter, either religion must be all spiritual, or all carnal; that is, we must either take up with the grossness of the _Sadducees_, who say, there is neither angel nor spirit, or with such purification as the _Pharisees_ had from their washing of pots and vessels, and tithing their mint and rue; we must, I say, either acquiesce in this carnality, or we must profess a religion, that is _all spirit and life_, and merely for the sake of raising up an _inward spiritual life_ of heaven, that fell into death in our first father.
*_Theophilus._ Oh _Theogenes_! What an eternity is that, out of which, and for which thy eternal soul was created? What little, crawling things are all that an earthly ambition can set before thee? Bear with patience for awhile the rags of thy earthly nature, the veil and darkness of flesh and blood, as the lot of thy inheritance from father _Adam_, but think nothing worth a thought but that which will bring thee back to thy first glory, and land thee safe in the region of eternity.
