Our evidence, then, for the truth of the Christian religion is less than the evidence for the truth of our senses; because, even in the first authors of our religion, it was no greater; and it is evident it must diminish in passing from them to their disciples; nor can any one rest such confidence in their testimony, as in the immediate object of his senses.
Hortaz, kristau-erlijioaren egiaz dugun ebidentzia gure zentzuen egiaz duguna baino txikiagoa da oraindik, ezen gure erlijioaren lehen autoreengan ere ez baitzen handiagoa izan eta, garbi dagoenez, gutxitu baino ezin egin haiengandik dizipuluengana igarotzean; eta inork ezin jar lezake hauen testigantzan bere zentzuen aurreko objektuan baino konfidantza handiagoa.
