Reason why it might be expected so to do
by the generality of the people. The persecution you may so call it they
meet with on from all sides quarters, whether deservedly or not, has
this the effect in this instance which persecution

it is enough on all other occasions to beget
in him against a prejudice against those by whose means
or even for whose sake he is made to suffer. When
the hand of every mans is against a person, his hand or his heart
