Excerpt from The Divine Authority of the Old and New Testament Asserted
A just Liberty of Thinking (which on the one Hand is not governed by old and popular Prejudices, nor on the other Hand led aside by the Affection of Novelty, and a desire of Thinking out of the common Way) which hath nothing but Truth in View, and the serving the Cause of real Goodness and Righteousness, is certainly one of the noblest Things in the World. to be a Free-Thinker in this, which is the most proper Sense of the Word, must be owned to be an honourable and amiable Character. This the Enemies of our Holy Religion are sensible of, and therefore they have done themselves the Honour to assume this Character as if it were their sole Privilege, and a Distinction that sets them above the rest of Mankind. But as no Man is a Free-Thinker, or a good Reasoner, merely for calling himself so, the Justness of their Pretensions to that Character must be examined by other
Things than their own confident Boastings.
