Something to come between p (1)

These are receipts and in the instance of some many a constitution
sure ones for the believing of any thing,
how monstrous so ever the absurdity of it: hope and
fear, reward and punishment — eventual expectation of
extasy and agony both screwed up to the highest pitch as
well in the scale of duration as in that of intensity
are instruments by the force of which the threats of the
many may be made and beyond doubt are actually are made
to gulp down pills boluses of the utmost conceivable degree
of intellectual nauseousness.

Exposed to the action of such instruments, the
judgment is in the great bulk of human constitutions
absolutely under at the command of the affections. Were
not this the case, or at least in a very extensive degree to a great extent
understood to be the case, faith, that is belief-persuasion
as applied to objects of a particular class
would never have been brought to view as we see it it is seen
brought to view in the character of a duty — and that
a duty on the fulfilment of non fulfilment of which
depends the difference between infinite felicity and
infinite misery both infinite, as above.
