— Poſſibly it may be argued that, as according to our own account, effects are long in their production ; if the ſyſtems of morality which have been given by the antient Philoſophers of Greece and Rome ; by CONFUCIUS, or MAHOMET, or BRAMA, contain principles which have an equal tendency with Chriſtianity to render their followers more humane and benevolent, the Law of Nations is not ſo ſuperiourly obliged to that religion.
