8 Compensation
Reasons for the negative
3dly With as much likelyhood and with as good reason
as a given act practise might be the object of of

violent affection in others, who would be accordingly
for enforcing it by constraint: hence would arise hence wars and rebellions
would arise rebellions and wars. The effects of such a disposition when adopted as principle
of government have never been more fatal than in
[the instance of] relation to Religious practices in those for instances
which have been the subject of controversy
between Catholics and Protestants; who have each
of them in their turns attempted to inculcate or
then into the other or force them from proscribe by force
[into the other and of belief and other practises habits of believing and acting, of
which a great number at least have had been
such as have had could not in of themselves have
any sort of influence upon the happiness of the
society.
NOTE
[a]
Notions of Morality and even of taste have often
given occasion to such antipathies: though the dissentions
that have arisen from them have often
proved so fatal.
King James the 1st of England happen'd to take an
antipathy to the religious tenets of the Anabaptists; this antipathy
finding itself seconded by congenial antipathies
in others, and in some measure by the Laws, found
means.
