Oracles of reason, as formed by the Deists, are husks for deistical and heathen swine: but the truths of the Gospel are bread for God's children. A concise, but plain answer, to Gen. Allen's Oracles of reason: shewing the unreasonableness of them, and the principles of the Deists, Arians, Socinians and Universalists, and the excellency of the Holy Bible; as containing a most refined system of morality; and the wisest, easiest and best method for the salvation sinners that can be devised or desired. : The great doctrines of substitution, vicarious sufferings, and atonement, are here explained. / By Common Sense. ; [Three lines from Theanthropos]

Abstract

Attributed to Josiah Sherman by Evans. Also issued under title: A sermon to swine: from Luke xv. 16. Litchfield, 1787 (Evans 20707). The present is evidently the second issue, with an expanded prefatory advertisement, which states "I have been informed, since this sermon was first published, that Gen. Allen doth not think himself fairly treated ..." Pages 7-40 of both issues are printed from the same setting of type. "Errata."--foot of p. 40.
