See how these Christians love one another! In what are they preferable to Turks and Pagans? What abomination can be found among Mahometans or Heathens which is not found among Christians also?" And thus my mind runs off, before I am aware, from one circumstance to another. Now all these are in some sense wandering thoughts. For although they do not wander from God, much less fight against him, yet they do wander from the particular point I had in view.

What abomination can be found among Mahometans or Heathens, which is not found among Christians also?” And thus my mind runs off, before I am aware, from one circumstance to another. Now all these are in some sense wandering thoughts. For altho’ they do not wander from God, much less fight against him, yet they do wander from the particular point I had in view.
