Proverbs 1:20-23 Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets:… Lord Chesterfield being at supper with Voltaire and Madame C—— , the conversation turned on the affairs of England. "I think, my lord," said the lady, "that the Parliament of England consists of five or six hundred of the best informed and most sensible men in the kingdom." "True, madam, they are generally supposed to be so." "What, then, can be the reason they should tolerate so great an absurdity as the Christian religion?" "I suppose, madam, it is because they have not been able to substitute anything better in its stead; when they can, I doubt not but in their wisdom they will readily accept it."
