“I think it proper here not only to subscribe to the entire belief of the great and leading doctrines of the Christian religion, such as the being of God; the universal defection and depravity of human nature; the Divinity of the person and the completeness of the redemption purchased by the blessed Savior; of Divine faith accompanied with an habitual virtuous life; but also, to exhort and charge [my children] that the fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom.”
