Excerpt from Essay on Christian Philosophy: Originally Published in the Vermont Chronicle

Locke exploded the doctrine of innate ideas, and attributed all our knowledge to sensation and reflection as its source. What he meant by reflection, and whether he ever considered it minutely in its relation to the subjects which I am about to suggest, may admit of some doubt. Some of his followers, however, have considered it to be a taking to pieces and re-arranging of the impressions received by the senses, so as to form them, or parts of them, into new ideas. This doctrine, so understood, has led to divers strange inferences. One of the French metaphysicians considered ideas as transformed sensations. Berkley inferred the material world out of existence, and Hume did the same for the spiritual world. At least, so they are usually understood. And in the opinion of Reed and Stewart, they reasoned logically from the premises which Locke had laid down. The most taking infidel philosophy of the present day consists in denying the reality of all knowledge, which cannot be shown to have its origin in the senses. It rejects the existence of God, because no one has seen him, and because the idea of God cannot be formed out of any impressions received through the senses. I wish to offer a few remarks on what appears to me to be the fundamental error of this philosophy, and on the opposite truth. And I must request my readers not to get before me, - not to imagine what I am going to say; nor to attribute any doctrine to me, because they think it may be inferred from what I do say. We may differ about the correctness of the inference.

When I look around me, I am struck with the mathematical aspect of all things visible. The planets are spheroids, and move in elliptical orbits, and according to mathematical laws. The same principles of motion and force bear rule on earth, and pervade its structure and its changes. Its most solid and unchanged parts are crystalized and arranged according to fixed and definite laws. The combinations of chemistry are in definite proportions, - particle to particle, one to two, one to three, two to three, etc. united by forces, which number may represent. Such laws, to great extent, govern the vegetable world; and every year, by enlarging our knowledge, is diminishing the number of apparent exceptions.
