J. B. to Carlile
Just says the tyrant looking upon the man he has fastened
in for his victim — such says he looking him shadily
and saly and steadily in the face is my opinion:
so say the words, and to the words what the looks add
is — and now, Sir, will and what are yours?
Having had occasion to witness this tyranny
so have I had occasion to witness the fruits of it. And
these fruits are no skin than these which are sure to
be the fruits of tyranny, a wry , by whom, and is
who so ever exercised. If of a father it be the wish to
alienate his son from himself the affection of & say an Uncle then
of a Nephew in a word of a patron it be the wish
to convert a dependent of any description from a sincere
friend into a secret enemy, I would venture to recommend
to him this course as one then which nothing more official
can be imagined devised: and if on some unlooked for
reason it should happen to him to witness the token of that enmity, in experience the effect
of it, let him not place it them to any other the account those that
of his own father and his injustice own wisdom. against these
his own vices he may shut his own eyes as obstinately
as he pleases, the nature of men will not the loss
embrace unchanged, causes will not the loss caution to
be producters of their effects.
Reserved or not reversed — Receive or not receive of
the Holy Ghost dove will the eminence of every in his
concur a man making most of his dependents, and
the or the of promoting religion, acting the part in this case
of a Spanish Inquisitor — what is the consequence? Comes the
answer true or false. If true the tyrant is enraged, the victim opposes
and perhaps friend: if false, here is immorality produced, and religion
religion the instrument
employed in the production
of it
