English prose literature -- 18th century
There remains only to add, lest the preceding view of Sects and
Establishments should in any degree be misapprehended, that it has
nothing to do with the _truth_ of opinions, and relates only to the
influence which the adventitious circumstances attending them may
have upon the manners and morals of their followers. It is therefore
calculated to teach us candour, but not indifference. Large views of
the moral polity of the world may serve to illustrate the providence
of God in his different dispensations, but are not made to regulate
our own individual conduct, which must conscientiously follow our own
opinions and belief. We may see much good in an Establishment, the
doctrines of which we cannot give our assent to without violating our
integrity; we may respect the tendencies of a Sect, the tenets of which
we utterly disapprove. We may think practices useful which we cannot
adopt without hypocrisy. We may think all religions beneficial, and
believe of one alone that it is true.
