Ch.XI. Minister collectively
§ 15. Religion Minister none

Religion. important as an instrument to do good: pful only as an instrument ofto do evil

The A more injurious insult can not be offered
by one man to another than this conjunct pretence of ing
caring more about him than he cares about himself and
at the same time knowing more about him than what he
knows about himself. If sincere, it is the height of folly;
if insincere it is the height of knowing. A declaration to of this
effectsort is just as capable and just as likely to be made by a man in whose instance whom
it is insincere as by a man in whose instance it is
sincere. It requires an indulgence. has not no claim to
indulgence: no more claim than has a or a physical
aspersion given in sign of contempt. To with indulgence
is to invite it.

In proof Of insincerity on the part of him who for obtaining
the matter this application of it is for forming the number of

In the belief of or religion in -regarding opinion while he is paid for teaching
a man may be sincere, but he has no ground for expecting
men or calling upon them to think so or to profess to think so

whereas in this subject let his real opinion change ever so, [+] his [+] these are p there ever
measurable on what
declared opinion can not without loss of reputation and livelyhood, undergo may change. Th it or that of veracity and sincerity are part and parcel of morality such advocating such disposition of public money is an immoral act:
