POPERY. Advantages of TOLERATION.
Ledger for 29 May 1772 - Irish debates.
24th
1st We should ourselves superintend their education, instead of sending them to have it it
superintended Not superintend over of our enemies.
25
2. All the Sums which are sent out for that purpose, which certainly are not small
would circulate at home.
26
3. We should by this means have the opportunity of with their studies; such
books as, tho' they do not strike d considerably against their superstitions; & therefore would
not be refuted, since they are read permitted even in countries where these
superstitions
would not fail universally to undermine them, in consequence of their tendency to
the mind. Such for instance are Locke's Essay and treatise on Government.+
+Que. whether this is permitted
27
4. By having their Bibal plans of Divine Service under our inspection, without depriving them
of any of their essential furnctions, we might yet keep their love of these gaudy trappings
& , which attached the eye, & have operated towards the provision of
mind & warm imaginations more powerfully than arguments. when arguments would not have shaken.
28
Every expedient by which their interest to be quiet is augmented, while their
impotence of is either kept hid or if possible , is an additional security.
29
On these principles was it judged (and judged) by this aristocrat of
State Peace; As will even our enemies — How much stronger is the reason
for devilry as by our watcher friends & fellow citizens.
30
I would pray beseech those to consider, who entertain so high a notion of the
of religious influence the influence of their superstition in depretiation of that of the amor patriae cantos
omnium cavitatis complectitur, to what who were the men to whom we owe the foundation
and as well as the transmission for so many ages of the liberties we now enjoy? Were they
not Catholics — Catholics ignorant and barbarous; when the rough spirit of the
superstition was as yet untinctured with that politeness which has soften'd it
& more even when it is dominant & uncontrouled.
31
<add><add></add></add> An incident related by an ingenious French Traveller is so applicable to this subject
that cannot resist the propensity to transcribe it.+
32.
If then the affection attachment to the mother Country has can have such mighty power at the dedication
of near a Century against in preserving itself alone in spite of Persecution of the most cruel kind not only but inflicted in heading ever to a Land of Dispation.
