opinion of the sentiments of so great a man , who wrote so largely on religion . As to the quotation from Sir Isaac ' s own writings , it might as well come from an Arian , or indeed from uny Protestant , as
from a Socjnian . " In regard to Mr . Locke , " this writer very fairly admits , c ; that he knows not of any positive evidence that can decide the question . " I shall therefore
furnish him with one very respectable testimony , respectable in every point , but peculiarly so on this subject . It is that of Dr . Lardner , wijo pronounces Locke to have beep aii , Arian , and classes him
with pr . John Taylor , in his fetter on the Logos , in these words : V How this text , Rom i . 3 , 4 . is explained by those who favour the Arian hypothesis , of the Logos supplying the place of a human soul in the person of Jesus , may be seen in divers writers . Seethe
Paraphrases of Mr . Locke and Dr . Taylor . " I . shall also remind him of two R > 3 ges in Locke ' s Paraphrase , which to me are perfectly satisfactory . The first is that referred to by Dr . Lardner , Rom . i . 3 .
