J. B. to Carlile4
Once more Sir I say it is not for the purpose of giving support
to your doctrines whatever they are that I am
exposing myself to the denomination of miscreant, and the
that stands attached to it — it is not for this
purpose cause but for the purpose of giving what support I may
be capable of giving to religious liberty to that to the liberty of
searching and assisting others in searching for truth or that
ground subject in con of which all other subjects
put together . According to you an declaration Yet as if I
mistake not a threat and it is for this that yes we need
to . Were it for being a Unitarian, an Atheist, a
Quaker, a Methodist or even Protestant or the lands of every Church of Englandst, a Church
of Englandst among Catholics, or a Catholic among Church
of Englands that you were a sufferer my sympathy
with your sufferings my pathy is d the matter
of your suffering could be still the same. All those together
I could not be nor that one of them at the same time
I could not be yet there is not one of them that I could in the consequential case
not be charged with being, on the same grounds as prove in what
I may be and ought to expect to be using expect to be charged with being
a partaker in your opinions whatever they are. Not and
in the present can your opinions are those which I should
most likely to be charged with upon me by those in whose friend to whom the bill
like of sympathyaccustom I am thus presenting you with would in
the highest degree exasperate against me. Oh no, this imputation
would not be sufficiently afflicted on. Atheism is
the crowning charge. Ps High treason is on the scale of political
atheism is the chosen imputation on the scale of religion, tyranny.
