Excerpt from A New Universal History of the Religious Rites, Ceremonies and Customs of the Whole World, or a Complete and Impartial View of All the Religions in the Various Nations of the Universe: Both Ancient and Modern, From the Creation Down to the Present Time
III. We must describe such ceremonies as are absurd and inconsistent in themselves, to the reader, that he may see the difference between them, and the simplicity of the true gospel ceremonials, which, as a revelation from God, were calculated to make men virtuous in time, and blessed in eternity.
