Excerpt from A Scheme of Scripture-Divinity Formed Upon the Plan of the Divine Dispensations: With a Vindication of the Sacred Writings The Reader is here presented with the Plan which Dr. Taylor followed, in leading his Pupils to a just and rational Acquaintance with the Principles of Religion, founded upon an accurate Knowledge of the Scriptures. The Importance of this Service, and his Accountableness in a great Measure for the Event, were Considerations of the last Moment, and caused him to compose, and deliver his Academical Instructions with the utmost Circumspection. To his own Judgment, after the strictest Revisal, the Principles here advanced, appeared just and scriptural; but he did not therefore presume they were absolutely free from Error; much less did he think himself authorized, as a publick Tutor, to impose his Sentiments on young Minds with an overbearing Hand.
