SWEARING
Discountenance by the example
of a Prince in whom Piety
is the complement not the substitute
to the other Virtues, it infects
but little that part of
the people which takes it's
manner from the Court.
And it is here at least, for ever that
the ordinary prejudice of Moralists Religionists
will find a difficulty
in giving a preference to the
poor.
It is here This too he may observe is one of those
---page break---
answers which may satisfy
us & the how little small a part if the
joint effect of temporal &
spiritual tenors considerations is in reality
to be attributed to the latter,
& how unsafe it is for the Legislator
to rest any part of his
dependence upon them to the
exclusive neglect or neglect of the former.
A Melancholy Truth, which is
highly necessary to be inculcated
into Legislation, to prevent
their falling into those arms
which encompass them on all
sides on their neglect of it.
It is seems generally supposed, & I
believe justly that the influence
of Religion on is the greatest on the lower
orders of the people; yet are it will not at least
---page break---
be disputed with respect to Roman
Catholic Countries: yet we see how
impotent they are found to be
against upon this Vice against which
they are so strongly pointed, &
which is so much kept under
by the respect to human opinion.
