CONTENTS.

The prevalence of error being the fulfilment of pro-
phecy, affords no just objection to the divine origin of
Christianity. I. The universality of error recognized in
the Apostolical writings; which contain neither excuse
for the practice of it, nor promise of exemption from its
power, but recommend constant vigilance and precau-
tion. II. The means of avoiding error are, under cer-
tain restrictions, Reason, Tradition, Inspiration-Para-
mount authority of the Scriptures; proper dispositions
for studying and applying them with effect, and conse-
quences of neglecting those dispositions.-III. Plan of
the following Lectures proposed, and objections antici-
pated.
