Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Philosophical Works of the Late Right Honorable Henry St. John, Lord Viscount Bolingbroke, Vol. 3 If we inquire after the causes of that strange multiplication of sects, which have grown up, from the apostolical age to this, among Christians, it seems to me that they are to be found in the metaphysical madness of philosophers mixing with the enthusiasm of the first Christians, in the cabalistic practice of giving different senses to the fame passages of holy writ, in the uncertainty of tradition, and in the use that a distinct order of men has made, in every christian state, of these and other circumstances to acquire dominion over private consciences. Men run naturally from extreme to extreme. The farther they have gone into one, the more likely it is that when they recover from it they will hurry as far into another: so that reformation is often nothing mere than a change of error. Thus it happened in the pagan theology. The professors of it, and the people in general, had acknowledged a divine nature; which was human nature under a different name, and placed in a different habitation.
