p.90 The Sovereign ; whose very image oug
to be held in reverence by all loyal subjects" - An Idea, Im progress
as to my own part I should be
be very unhappy to see realized: not simply - -
but because such a disposition could never be
-lanted in any man's judgment, till [after he has made] a formalsurrenderd
surrender of it into the hands of others to be [by them] returned by them,
impressed with that hasn't radical debilitation which as yields he-up a pregsur
to intermerable weaknesses& crimes - It is with this which may be stiled
a civil as with Ecclesiastical superstition, which innocent & useful in a fi in
few of it's most obvious effects is beyond measure
pernicious in others & in it's cause: in it's cause
because it can never be secured implanted till after but by extreme Tyranny & violence:
in it's effects consequences became in proportion, as a man is tormented with it,
he is becomes less of less fit for every generous on the subject of those Sciences on thre cultivation ofexertion of mental Strength on which the happiness

Branch which ily it's influence to the most distant extremities
inflames them with convulsion or
chills them into Death.
