And as most People being enchained by the Bonds of Constraint and Fashion, and regarding the Customs of their Ancestors, Relations and Acquaintances, without examining the Arguments or Reasons for it, give an implicit Faith to that Religion, in which they have been bred up, and remain deprived of the Excellency of Truth, the finding of which is the proper End of Reason; therefore at Times, I converse with the Learned of all Religions, and Profit by the Discourses of each.

As most men are fettered by the bonds of tradition, and by imitating the ways followed by their fathers, ancestors, relatives and acquaintances, every one continues, without investigating the arguments and reasons, to follow the religion in which he was born and educated, thus excluding himself from the possibility of ascertaining the truth, which is the noblest aim of the human intellect. Therefore we associate at convenient seasons with learned men of all religions, and thus derive profit from their exquisite discourses and exalted aspirations.
