It is no wonder that the book should be
translated into so many languages."
The best edition of it is that published by Le Clerc,[036] in 1709 at
Amsterdam, in 8vo. To this edition, Le Clerc has added a curious
_dissertation_ on _religious indifference_. He presumes that the

2. Which of these are most worthy of the name of Christians:

articles of faith:
5. That all these articles are clearly expressed in the New
Testament:
