July 26, 1796, John Adams wrote in his diary:
“The Christian religion is, above all the Religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of Wisdom, Virtue, Equity, and Humanity. Let the Blackguard Paine say what he will; it is Resignation to God, it is Goodness itself to Man.”
"He (Thomas Paine) had lived long, did some good, and much harm." -New York Evening Post Obituary 1736
