Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Collection of Testimonies in Favor of Religious Liberty: In the Case of the Dissenters, Catholics and Jews In this age it is still necessary to prove, that the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Streams of blood, desert countries, unanswered arguments, slowly teach men who are in possession of power, that Providence takes better methods for the Propagation of the true religion, than can be expected from the interference of its creatures. - But we shall cease to be surprised at this obstinacy, if we recollect that the partisans of power, when they fay that they are taking care of the concerns of God, think they are at the fame moment taking care of their own. In pleading for the Catholics I shall offend many dissenters; and in pleading for the Jews, I shall offend many dissenters and Catholics. - But shall I in this offend the Deity, to whom dissenters, Catholics, and Jews equally belong? I trust not. Men who are left without any other guide than their opinions, had need be tender, left in the person of another they should persecute truth itself. - Besides is not charity an appendage of truth? It is however chiefly in a political view that I have collected a few testimonies in favour of general religious liberty. Articles 2, 3, 9, and 21 are my own: Article 20 is an original by a friend: The rest speak for themselves. - As I conceived and executed the design of this collection within a few days, I shall be forgiven for its defeats, I have omitted in compliment to prejudice, every thing written by the Dissenting Clergy or by profane persons, - But I trust there is enough produced to confound the religious Bigot; and to convince the Politician that to check religious discussion is favourable to the welfare of men neither here under his own government, nor hereafter under that of God.
