OF all the accusations, which can be
brought against a public character, that of
infidelity is the molt to be dreaded, because
it is the molt easily improved on the minds
of the people.—The man with or without
talents, who wishes tp ruin a fellow-citizen
in the public opinion, thinks firft of that
accusation. It avails little to the person
thus falfely traduced, to be innocent of the
charge. In vain does he stand acquitted at
the tribunal of his own confeience. In
vain is the tenor of his life damped with
virtuous honelty. His gpodnefs is called
imbecillity ; his virtue is looked upon as
hypocyify. Is he silent ?—then he tacitly -
acknowledges the truth of the odious pecu
lation. Does he atempt a jollification ?—
then he feels guilty, 01 he would have des
pised the notorions falfboods. Woe to him
who stands a mark to cuFumny !—woe to
him especially if he be truely virtuous; he
cannot escape the venom-tipped Ihaft ; he
must bleed.
The accusation of infidelity is the most easily
impressed on the minds of the people. This
charge is generally brought by clergymen.
I nele gentlemen exhibit such a gravity of
countenance, such decency of deportment,
that it is hardly possible to fufpe& them wil
fully propagating a lie. We are accuflom
ed from our early years to conlider thetnas
a species of beings a little above humanity.
Theirtitle of preachers of truth deceives us.
We have contrasted the habit of be
lieving them without examination, and
we de n t give up easily a habit early receiv
ed and so agreeable to the natural indolence
of men, who shrink from the labour of
thinking. How is ii possible to imagine
that a clergyman can be a prey to the rage
ing paffiohs, *hich afflict and torment
mankind ? Can he become a slave to an
ger, cupidity, ambition and revenge ? N2_
—his aflertions will be implictly credited,
and none will dare to pity the unfortunate
viaim. (Juggling beneath the sacerdotal
knife.•
The place itfelf from which clergymen
fend forth their anathemas, fervesio increase
the illufipq, and to give additional Urength
to calumny. The lightning which fall@
from the pulpit seldom mifftsits aim. Shew
me the truth-loving man, intrepid enough
to rife fearlefsly in the middle of a congre
gation already prejudiced, in order to oppose
verbally the privileged orator, and refotehis
groundiefs denunciations. Who would
publicly give defiance to theological hatred,
to the aversion of mistaken zealots, the con
fute of the weak, and the contumely of the
wicked !— Were it even possible to find a
man possessed of such an uncommon share of
spirit, what would be the consequence of bis
cohdu&; His virtuous intrepidity would
be considered as a crime never to be forgiv
en. The detected falflioods would never
thplefs,be circulated and believed as authen
tic ; for what prieli has ever acknowledged
an error ! His ralhnefs would cost him
dear ; and he would soon learn, at his peril,
that it is imprudent to ex pose himfelf to the
Indignant fury of a class of people who, like
hell, are not known to have ever given Dp
their prey..
A writer who has published a book, in
the composition of which he has employed
the light of his reason in investigating some
point-of natural philosophy, or, some intri
cate ftibjed of metaphysics, must take a
fcciil care not to irritate the clerical weal.
His literary works will be quoted as ingenm
ious and inUruaive, untifi he incurs the
indignation of the clergy. From that mo
ment he is proclaimed an infidel, and every
fort of heterodox doctrines are found io bis
production. Some assert that the author is
a^deift, others that he is an aiheifUonworthy
of breathing in a Christian attnofphere. — 1
Sermon /peculators, oration jobbers, will
traduce him as a philofopber who defpUcs
Christianity, & withes to demoralize man
kind. All will unite to call him Jacobin &
dir up .every knave and fool agaiuft him.
No prbots are required from them. Peo
ple do not even perceive that their accusa
tions deHroy each other, and that a man
cannot be)t once a ^leift and ao ath<iiE
The calumniators are believed on their own
word, and unpitied innocence fills a faerr-.
fice, whiltt the cowardly alfaffin 'riots in ^^
unhallowed luxury at faiated revenge.
