But observing that Dr. _Moore_ above speaks of Priests, their _neglecting the Laws of Honesty_ and _common Humanity_, as a Cause of Infidelity, I must here do a piece of Justice to Infidels, who place the very _Essence_ of all Religion (as I believe the Essence of Christianity consists) in _common Honesty_. If they keep to their Principles, and act agreeably, they will work such a Reformation in the World for the better, as the _Priests_ of all Ages have not been able to do. The _Clergy_ have made such a Noise in the World about _Faith_ and _Doctrine_, that the People hardly think they need be _Honest_ to be good Christians and even many _Clergy-men_ are conceited of their being _orthodox_ and _sound Divines_, though by their Dishonesty, Profuseness, and Neglect of a Provision for their Families, they have, in the Judgment of[351] St. _Paul_, deny'd the Faith, and are worse than Infidels. And thus have I consider'd the Slanders and Misrepresentations of my self and Infidels, contain'd in the _Bishop_'s _Dedication_ to the _Queen_, which entirely is such a Piece of Fury, Railing, and Impertinence, as a Man shall hardly meet with. Surely he was not awake when he wrote his _Dedication_, it is so like the _Dream_ of a disorder'd Brain which consists of confused Notions, and scatter'd Ideas, that are never to be so compacted together, as to make tolerable Sense, Reason, and Truth. If I had not met with much such flaming Stuff in the Body of his Book, I should have suspected that some-body, more a Foe than a Friend to him, had palm'd it upon him, and over-persuaded him to print it, as what would recommend him to her Majesty's Favour. Whether he'll merit a _Translation_ to an _Arch-Bishoprick_, for this Dedication, with me is no Question. For all he may take me for his Enemy, I wish him _translated_, as certainly as the Government has _transported_ some other Folks, who are no more the Bane of Society. _Buggs_ in a House, and _Caterpillars_ in a Garden, are not a greater Grievance, than some sort of Ecclesiastical _Vermin_ in Christ's Church and Vineyard.
