      means lays the same hold on tlie feelings with those views of religion which are denominated Calvinistic . This objection I wish briefly to coixsicjer . And in reply to it , I should say , that the true test of religious feeling , I mean

      tli ^ aX feeling which aloi ^ e 4 s valuable , is a good and holy life . Kov ^ , if Unitarians , -as ^ body , fall J > £ low their fellownprofessors in jthe practice of Christian virtue , some presumption may be derived hence against their doctrine .
