VII. EVIDENCES OF RELIGION.
1.
Letters there be too large for us to read:Words shouted mock the sense, and beat the air:
Emblazon not in such a type thy creed:
Through such a trumpet peal not thou thy prayer.
Truth has her Saxon friends, of whom beware:
No alien help, or haughty, doth she need:
To him who seeks her, pure in heart and deed
Her pledges and her proofs are everywhere.

Round us in Nature; all that human thought
In Science, or in Art, hath found, or wrought,
Stand fixed as notes on Truth's immortal book.
What need we more? a Commentary? look
Through all the mighty roll of History!
