Summary
We have made several important additions to this new edition of the Logic, which resulted from objections some ministers made to some of our remarks, thereby obliging us to clarify and defend the rights they wanted to attack. These clarifications will show that reason and faith are in perfect agreement, like streams from the same source, and that we can scarcely distance ourselves from one without removing ourselves from the other. But although these additions were prompted by theological disputes, they are no less appropriate or natural to logic. We could have made them even had there never been ministers in the world who wanted to obscure the truths of faith with false subtleties. [13]
