The God of the nature not being at in his command, human
imagination supplies him with a God — sever and cruel
like himself.

Blasphemy. Bp Burgess p. 16.

Inserendumen?

Blasphemy! Blasphemy!

Blasphemy

Yes — there lies behold the horror — A man vomits out pours forth
his nonsense and, in pretense of its having come issued
forth from the mouth of God, calls upon all man to
it, on pain of being loaded with all the evil which
with this pretence for oppression in his mouth, he
can contrive to load them with. In vain do they
protest — it is not against God for we are not madmen — it is not against God it is against you and
your fellow oppressors that our reproach is levelled.
Yes says he it is against God — it is against God,
for God and I are one. Yes it is against God — that
God by whom all men who refuse to
put upon his word my interpretation which is the
only true one, are marked out for probable destruction
in this life and to certain and infinitely intense and
endless torment in a the life to come.

Of him the mind to whom it is thus applied the word blasphemy
conveys not any the faintest conception: but of the a most
correct conception does it convey of the mind of him by whom
it is thus applied. It presents to your view a Bishop
Burgess, by whom the idea of so much as a single person individual

meaning out of among those in whose minds
his demonstration of the truth of a self contradictory
arithmetical proposition fails of obtaining acceptance,
fills with a degree of despair by which all the bands
not only of charity but of prudence have been burst
