Natural Equality of Men,
On the Rights that result from it, and on the
ProfefTor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law
of Nature, and of Eccleliaflical History ;
and Minister of the English Church at U
trecht.
THE grand principle of" Equality, if right
ly underltood, is the only basis on which
universal justice, sacred order, and perfedt
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this
efTay, at the fame time that it reprefles the
insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and
the outrages of oppreflion ; confirms, in the
mofl forcible manner, the neceflity oi" subor
dination, and the just demands of lawful au
thority. So far indeed, from loosening the
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil diftin&ion,
draws more closely every social tie, unites in
one harmonious arid justly proportioned sys
tem, and brings men together on the even
ground of the inherent rights of human na
ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com
mon relation to the community.
