I do not believe that any large proportion of Englishmen are actual disbelievers, who reject Christianity as unworthy of credence, or attach themselves to any of the innumerable varieties of deistical and pantheistical schools.
There is Christianity, which, by revealing the truth, has limited the license of human reason; there is that human reason which resists revelation as a bondage which insists upon being atheistical, or polytheistical, or pantheistical which looks upon the requirements of obedience, justice, truth, and purity, as limitations of human freedom.
These two modes of explaining the phenomena present, I know, great difficulties; the latter especially. However, the pantheistical solution of the Hegelian school adopted by Kieser, Kluge, Wirth, Hoffman, pleases me still less. I even prefer that of Jung-Stilling and Kerner but at all events one thing is certain, the facts are there; only ignorance, stupidity, and obstinacy can deny them.
Since this sort of details might, particularly at the present moment, and to use an expression now in fashion, give to the Bishop of D a certain "pantheistical" physiognomy, and induce the belief, either to his credit or discredit, that he entertained one of those personal philosophies which are peculiar to our century, which sometimes spring up in solitary spirits, and there take on a form and grow until they usurp the place of religion, we insist upon it, that not one of those persons who knew Monseigneur Welcome would have thought himself authorized to think anything of the sort.
In this work, the lady asserts her pantheistical doctrine, and openly attacks the received Christian creed.
Every subject whatsoever is too high, too deep, and too broad for us. Can Atheists object to that? No, surely, for they uniformly thus reason with respect to Nature; and unless traitors to their own principles, cannot object to Pantheistical philosophy as here laid down. Atheists say, Nature never had an Author so do Pantheists of the 'Shepherd' school.
