5. This religion have we been following after for many years, as many know, if they would testify; but all this time, seeking wisdom, we found it not; we were spending our strength in vain. And being now under full conviction of this, we declare it to all mankind; for we desire not that others should wander out of the way as we have done before them; but rather that they may profit by our loss, that they may go (though we did not then, having no man to guide us) the straight way to the religion of love, even by faith.
"An Earnest Appeal to Men of Reason and Religion"
