The first point to be considered, by those, who meditate the project of
reunion, is, its practicability--those, who are disposed, to contend for
the affirmative, will observe, the number of important articles, of
Christian Faith, in which, all Christians, are agreed, and the
proportionally small number of those, in which, any Christians disagree.
All Christians believe,
1st. That there is one God;
2d. That he is a Being, of infinite perfection;
3d. That he directs all things, by his providence;
4th. That it is our duty to love him, with all our hearts, and our
neighbour, as ourselves;
5th. That it is our duty, to repent, of the sins we commit;
6th. That God, pardons the truly penitent;
7th. That there is a future state, of rewards, and punishments,
when all mankind shall be judged, according to their works;
8th.
