Religion the cause
In this way then as in so many others, without end
may be seen what is called religion armed against morality
and employed in forcing men in countless numbers to live a life of insincerity
on pain of remaining divested of those common
rights which at the same time in pretence and profess
pretended and professed and thus falsely pretended to be given to all alike
And to what purpose so flagrant an injustice? To no
other than by the power and profit to contribute to the keeping
in f an order of men engaged at an immense expence
in the capacity quality of instruments of delusion corruption and
oppression in the hands of a prominent determined in every
point by an interest or a state of constant and
opposition to that of the vast majority of the people.
2. On every one of these occasions, under the name of
fees payments taxes are exacted which though to the higher ruling classes are
as nothing, are to the vast majority a burthen of severe
pressure: a burthen which when the act that the
pretext and means for the taxation is voluntary, as in the case
of marriages and for the equivalent to to registration of births operate not infrequently
as a prohibition

the very word christening is of itself conclusive and

the child is put out of the protection of the law. Belief?
and such belief! and on such ground! The or when the light run is not
entirely quashed let him but read in firmless professors what
in was forced into men's mouths! Not but that up with
