leaves your person free from the obnoxious associations which
your opinions might have attached to you.
Thus, a state of things might exist – & to such
a state of things, as are happily residing in which variety of
opinions will not require the evil to shrowd themselves in any
trappings but those of honesty. Yet independently of difference of
opinions – respect must be had even to the prejudices of others
so as to check the disposition to intrude similar opinion
in what appears to them an incongruous or offensive shape. Minds there are to whom the
treating even ludicrous topics with any thing like levity would
be vexatious & disagreeable – and others to which serious &
mathematical reasoning is repugnant. To each the general
rule applies, – tho' for cash a different up intent course may have to be adopted.
In the shape we to give to the communication of our opinions – as will as in the
opinions themselves, – let every thing be avoided which creates
a useless pain.
