calculated to advance the intolerance of despots, and rapacity of priests; if the people followed some Scripture examples, and adopted as perfection the models preached up by the priests, they would be daily conspiring against Kings or tyrants, slaying their brothers, sleeping with their fathers' wives, debauching their sisters and daughters? in short, there would, be nothing but adultery, licentiousness, perjury, conspiracy, cruelty, perfidy, and murder; all those crimes would be the consequence of adhesion to the Jew Books; yet if the people do act like Jew-Book heroes, if they do commit any one crime, if either avarice or delusion excite to violence, they are accused of not having the fear of God before their eyes, of not having attended to the _tithe-catching_ advice of Priests, and their books; but of being actuated by irreligious, profane, blasphemous, and diabolical motives; the dogmas of Priests and the Laws constantly dash, and while reason suffers the _tithe-eating corporation_ to exist, legislation must be necessarily imperfect; it is impossible for the people to follow the law and the Bible; notwithstanding the suspicion of the Priests, the laws will act in contradiction to the Bible. Men are the creatures of education, they act consistently with what they are taught; impostors and fools promulgating false principles are amenable to reason, and they should be to laws made by the whole of the people; men are criminal in consequence of a fallacious education adopted by regal and religious impostors, with a view of reaping other meu's harvests; the object is firstly, to debase, to enslave, to degrade the mind, and secondly, to plunder the victim; such scoundrels constantly preach up the deficiency of human nature, that more authority may be granted to those earthly saviours; a nation governed by Kings and Priests must be always in a state, of barbarism, of shameful indifference, and of crime; such nations are inhabited by an inferior race of men, when it may be presumed only a few scintillations of Philosophy have reached; States governed by Kings and Priests show the sun of reason is still below the horizon; if human nature is criminal in appearance, it is not so in fact, such cases are confounded with the errors of educators, which are instilled into man from the moment of his birth; if he is ever revengeful, vindictive, and sanguinary, attribute it to the licensed villains that blot the face, of the earth; reflect upon this you pampered; you bloated impostors, who riot upon the poor man's industry; you hypocrites, who carouse upon the sweat of his brow, and who sack the spoil of the criminal your rapacity has created; _Tyrants and impostors! remember you are splendid at the expence of honesty, pain, disease and death_; Give the people justice, and they will be laborious; if they are laborious, they must have plenty; and if they have plenty, they will be honest; men are naturally innocent,
