3 OBSTACLES PREJUDICES Profess:t of DIVINES
It is in the means which they assign for the obtainment
of their end that the diversity is manifested: becomes
manifested & the contemplation of which could alone
have suggested to them the imagining of a
difference.
Were I to be asked what difference I conceive
to be between them, as there stated; as above I should
answer, none at all: so truly none at all,
that if one could not say there were none at
all with rigid logical truth, one might at least
act to the world's end as if there were none at all, without
any Ethical inconvenience. some colour of
difference perhaps there may be with regard to conception
tho' there was none at all with regard to reality; as
man may conceive an <add>Ideal mental separation</add> to things as not being
together which never are to be seen asunder: As length & breadth.
The same difference as between & Lancaster.
But so it is not with the Divines I mention
They set those ends at variance: [as] assigning
ends as means to the latter those things which manifestly

are not so to the former, there they begin the
rupture. The means to their end as they call
it, tho' it ought that which by every title & every obligation is every body's as well as their's, are
certain things at all events to be believed, & contain
others to be done, for which no one was
ever or can ever be the better— the Statesman's
no longer identified with their's (for in compliance
to custom I will call it their's) is with them
at best only collateral, & often contrary:
From this moment not the Statesman's practises
but their paradims doctrines become the nuisance.
You shall see them confess, because their heads they are contrary
are turned, or because it is too manifest to
deny, that
The Statesman's end must yield any thing that it be .
