To those pretended successors of his the Apostles of Jesus by whom
their own persons bodies are clothed in fine linens, and the
bodies of their servants in purple. To those
pretended successors of his Apostles and special receivers of the Holy Ghost who exercise dominion
over one another — the ruling few over the
subject many — which they call upon the rest of their
to prostrate keep their understandings and their
wills in a state of prostration before them all — to these
pretended successors of the Apostles among whom those who
are there are some who are
more than a thousand times as rich the riches of some others
by those whose trust in their riches is so entire
as not only to feel but upon occasion to proclaim
that upon these rich their riches depends all their
hope of influence, which among those schismatics
whom for their schism they treat as men of guilt call upon one another to break
they behold hundreds yea and thousands to whom
the preaching of amidst their poverty the preaching and practice of the
religion of Jesus gives great so much greater as
well as better applied influence — to those who while
they are crushed under so powerful, because of their power, and bowed down
and looked up to because of their riches, are hated because
of their pride, and despised because of their servility
their insincerity the sensuality of many, and the servility,
the insincerity the narrowmindedness of almost all, and
the necessary and indispenable disinclination and insincerity of all — to such men how is
it possible that the religion determined in the discourses of Jesus the authors of the parable
of Dives and Lazarus of that Jesus by whom the exercise of
dominion
over one another
and the not only
the trust in but
the possession of riches
was so repeatedly
interdicted to the
chosen among his followers
under teachers of his
religion in such plain
such explicit and such
energetic terms? how
is it possible that this religion together with as well as with all such as while they profit or practice it should be regarded with affections sentiment other than those
of hatred? hatred not the less but the more intense for that repression of the [+]
[+] external tokens of it which is forced
upon them by prudence.
