SUBSCRIPTION On what suppos'd innocent.
The only event in which Subscriptions could do
no harm could become harmless (or but small harm) would be that, situation of things
of the nation's being fixed settled and universal, that
this engagement is totally different from all
others, that the a man's taking it insincerely is no
presumption of the his doing the like by any
other: that it is, they may be become harmless, at
the very term & not before, when they shall have
become utterly inefficacious — When they have no effect at all, then they will have no mischievous one. That Term it must
be confessed advenus: as the light of reason diffuses
itself more & more among the People, it becomes
more and more manifest, that not one tenth
part of those who take it can take it with sincerity:
and as among those who sacrifice their sincerity
on this, there are many who preserve it
with tolerable steadiness on the other occasions of life, that being more & more
observed, helps more & more to favor establish & propagate the distinction.
SUBSCRIPT. BLACKSTONE.

that jumble were not the crudest: as if anything could
be otherwise than crude When nothing that deserves the name of Science had as
yet appeared, when the Arts of Criticis were almost utterly unknown
Articles were abolished. Free
