God Made Man With Reason

For being educated, from my cradle, in the grossest superstition and idolatry, God was pleased to make my own reason, and such as made use of theirs, the happy instruments of my conversion. Thus I have been very early accustomed to examination and enquiry, and taught not to captivate my understanding, no more than my senses to any man or society whatsoever.

Notes:

And understanding should be based on that and not be given over to other men or society.
