Diverting

to reconcile myself : videant doctiores.(a)(a) I don't know how it may be at present, but
formerly when as often as the Ordinary of Newgate
as often as he and presented the world those
authentic histories of articles of biography which
went under his name used to take care to inform
the world that the great source and principle of the atchievents
which brought his heroes to their end exit catastrophe was sabbath-
breaking: I am apt to think he would have come nearer the truth
if he had said sabbath-keeping.
If this were really the case that religion
that revealed religion that revelation is were thus
at variance repugnant to morality it ought to be discarded
without hesitation: That man who knows not
what else to do with their
money and their time, buy
liquor and get drunk:
that drunkenness makes
them quarrelsome, destroys
their health, & renders makes
them unfit for labour
for every other enjoyment
& for every kind of duty,
we know by evidence rather
more conclusive convincing than
that of antient history; translated out
of a foreign tongue
of the senses of other men
because we have much
better evidence of the moral political effects of any
institution, than we can have of the truth of any religion
[religious hisory] [which has miracles for its
ground] which is grounded on facts incongruous to [out of] the
ordinary course of nature: for of the one we may have
the immediate evidence of our own senses: for
the others we must trust to the evidence of other
people's senses, transmitted to us through an inde-
-finite
-finite multitude of hands, the greatest part of
which if not all are utterly unknown to us.
