Présentation de l'éditeur

In this respect, Religion, according to common practice in many sects, may be compared to that sort of courtship of wliich the fair sex are known often to complain. In the beginning of an Amour when these innocent Charmers are first accosted, they hear of nothing but tender Vows, Submission, Service, Love. But soon afterwards, when won by this appearance of Gentleness and Humility, they have resigned themselves and are no longer their own, they hear a different Note, and are taught to understand Submission and Service in a sense they little expected. Charity and Brotherly Love are very engaging sounds ;but who would dream that out of abundant Charity and Brotherly Love should come Steel, Fire, Gibbets, Rods, and such a sound and hearty application of these Remedys as should at once advance the worldly greatness of religious Pastors and the particular interest of private Souls, for which they are so charitably concerned. Shaftesbury s Characteristics, vol. iii. p. 115.
