Toleration granted to the worst tenets
So little has the zeal for Church uniformity to do with
the interest of liberty which is made the for
it, that, let us prevail in having this well deleted text is that I may
off the mark from superstition & intolerance
in the guise of among the only but the very tenets
(in favor of which Churchmen have been formed
to defeat of their ) which it has hitherto
been thought proper, those which make the
figure are those which the very ones & those only which (are
calculated to) have an evil influence and as far as
it goes they have any, upon the interests of Society.

Moravians Does a man hold for that community of goods possessions
by which industry is , commerce is confined

Quakers hold for the of defence, deleted text that most
delerious of all tenets (in a single I mean) were

Does a man misunderstand it, that is, does he not understand
it as those do, who, when it serves their turn
are ready enough to profess they have nothing of their
mother? it is a question whether he you is fit to live.
Jews Is he of that singular race unsociable of men, who fatten
upon the fruits of others labour, but who never made
any thing themselves but of promotion? He
may dwell in fatten on.
God forbid I should be understood.
A man had better (had
a better account) as being
a Jew than a dissenter In this country I would defend the liberties which every
one of them enjoys, as I would my own.
Why so? because there is no fear but in a deleted text nation
enlightened as this, there will always be enough &
to those who are neither Jews Quakers nor Moravians,
after deleted text following is given to all those who
wish it, to indulge themselves in those their several
conceits. And by what standard
is this fundamentality
to be ? he knows
of none, (his fanaticism driving
to reject that
of the influence on the public
welfare) but the of
anger he happens to feel at seeing them disputed.
