OBSTACLES &c. DIVINES.

They cannot but be inwardly galled, if perchance
th by any battery, tho' pointed directly at other antagonists
those [common] fortresses strong-holds of 2 nonsense and 1 confusion
be laid open, to which they as well as in common with those
antagonists are accustomed to resort for refuge.

[Superstitions and prejudices of all kinds are not
so blind but that however fierce their mutual
dissentions but that they will join hands as it
were by instinct upon any alarm, & make
common cause in opposing the inroads of reason
& clear argument

Men who have persuaded themselves to look upon consider wrought themselves up to the persuasion
the immolation of their reason as a merit, will
often and easily find an altar: take any altar that comes in their way make any occasion serve for an Altar like a good
Bishop of our own, + + Potter in his Gronovius Antiquities quervide who when vacant from those
exercises of spiritual mortification & inanition which he
had learnt to be acceptable to the true God
could glow with an holy indignation against those
who were wanting in their assiduity at the rites of Jupiter or Juno.]
