Offenses Against Religion
It is held by Lord Chief Justice Coke
+ + 7. Rep. 176 Calvin's case. Shower's Parl. Cases 31. before the conquest of Bengal, and by Justice
Blackstone since, that laws which "are against
"the law of God, as in the case of an infidel
country", do upon the conquest of that country by
" christians, become-void."" If this does not mean
persecution, what does it mean? Such doctrines
require either to be explained or to be expunged.
[In England the bulk of the people are prone
to toleration: without the least propensity to do
wrong in this respect to injury to the consciences of any, except Catholics
under whose forefathers their forefathers have smarted. But
divines have been intolerant, and lawyers have
been divines.]
Happily our Eastern conquerors whatever
other censure they may have invited, have
kept clear from the infection of these doctrines notions]
Ld Chief Justice — — in given giving judgment sentencing
to punishment a man whose offence consisted
in an a free examination into the truth of the Christian
