ORIGIN OF IN GOD WE TRUST REFERENCE SOUGHT

An individual researching the origins of "In God We Trust" on
our coins and currency has contacted me, looking for the source
of a quotation that was referenced elsewhere:

"The devices are beautiful and appropriate, and the motto on
each, such as all who fear God and love their country, will
approve."

Can anyone help in finding a valid citation for this quotation?

[He found the reference on one of my own web pages. I put
it together years ago, mainly as an example of how numismatic
information could be presented on web pages. It was not
meant to be a scholarly piece and my citations leave something
to be desired. I'm not exactly sure where I found that quote.
Can anyone help us relocate it? Here's the address of the
web page: Quote
