Metaphor in Context
Atheism is an Opinion so unnatural and monstrous, that it very hardly gains Admittance into a humane Understanding, though a Man be never so insolent and disorderly. Human Reason and Discourses, are like a confus'd and barren Matter, until the Grace of God puts them in form, which alone gives them Shape and Value.
