<head>INTRODUCTION. False Division — Portea Practical influence of the foregoing error [+] v. marg. p.1<head>
Christianity Revelation, in as far as so far it is comes under the nature of a perfect Law, that
is contains specific precepts along with
a Sanction, can never be considered as intending
to regulate men's conduct actions in other aspects
than those in which they are left
free by the State. For [Present] Happiness and this
life being one of it's two ends, & being the evidence <add.that</add> of the
other of them (namely future happiness) in another life' being so, such
& Present Happiness being no otherwise attainable maintainable
than by the subordination of private<lb?> interests (or the interests of this or that individual)
to public interest, (or the interest of the
majority) of which interest the State, i.e.
(the rulers for the time being) must be the
Judge — to enjoin a man to draw from it<lb?> any role of conduct counter to that which
the state prescribes, would be have been to counteract
its two ends purposes Accordingly the divine Author of our
Religion instead of launching into distinctions
[as his successors have done] between what is Cesar's

the assistance he

which a small remnant
of that people

a shelter, may of

itself as a firebrand<lb?> to the hands of
fanaticism.
