J.B. to Carlisle 2
have been so heavily punished, I mean those of Thomas
Payne Paine received from first to last the finest circulation.

My opinion on the subject of religion are such as I am
neither ashamed to draw nor cut in my own conception
small to defend: at the same time it is a fixt
rule to me neither never to manifest declare them spontaneously in
any address to the public, nor in private to comply
any call made upon me directly or indirectly for that
purpose. To manifest them in public would be to produce give
in the minds of every reader with whose opinion
they disagreed, and in so far as those opinions are unknown person by the
name by which they were produced that unness could not
be attended with every advantage. To accuse them in consequence
of any private call made upon me in private
would be, by submission to give enemies general to a cost
of which list too often, and ever is that
indignation it has happened to me to be exercised. That
this would on every occasion be my reason and
my sole reason for such silence — this at any rate blast
free of that which in any such account could do to me or not if the
of my reason is sufficiently known to
every man who has others seen as head of thank of
Englandson examined. But for one person whose accident
has placed in this my situation there are multitude
whose situation is unhappily altogether opposite.

In the hands of any one man who concerns himself
to have another man in any degree in his power a declaration
of opinion whether on the subject of religion or on the subject of
justices is a means or instrument which if being employed for it curing of interesting that : and this p it

it has often happened
to me to know, is
but as apt to be most
cruelly and ungenerously
abused.
