Toleration — Emp. Russia.

The Empress of Russia has not been more wrought on
over by the experience of Riots & insurrections on
religious accounts to withdraw her Law of universal
toleration — That wise & magnanimous
Princess knows, that knowledge is the only antidote to
these disorders, together with that freedom of examination
which produces & disperses it.

Those convictions were indeed excited founded by a zeal for
the superstition: but instead of causing putting
serving to her, as it might a less intrepid & enlightened
Monarch, to for as an argument for far from thence the suppression
of rival sects as an argument for a means of retracting
from the sum total of Religious fuel, it doubtless
proved but the more to confirm her in
her resolution of inexorably from
that persecution which would serve but to fan
it into flame, & on what account, by whomsoever it be conceived, & her persuasion that the arm of
Government is never beneficially employ'd with on the subject of
that zeal but in quenching it when it breaks flames
out into acts of violence.
