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.
John Toland, John Toland's 'christianity Not Mysterious' (1997-09-18)
Notes
And understanding should be based on that and not be given over to other men or society.
