Excerpt from Three Essays: On the Intermediate State of the Dead; The Resurrection From the Dead; And on He Greek Terms Rendered Judge, Judgment, Condemned, Condemnation, Damned, Damnation, &C. In the New Testament

IT is remarked by Dr. Paley, that enthusi asm is wont to expatiate upon the condition of the departed, above all other subjects; and with a wild particularity. It is moreover a topic, which is always listened to with greediness. The teacher, therefore, whose principal purpose is to draw upon himself attention, is sure to be full of it. The Koran of Mahomet is half made up of it. If there be any justice in these te marks, enthusiasm abounds in the present day. The sermons of many teachers, like the Koran of Mahomet, are half made up, in expatiating on the condition of the departed with a wild particularity.
