No stupendous system of inquiry ever
long existed, unless the church and clergy
cherished lt-and none ever could. Aaron
made calf. The Pope is Christ's vice
gerant. Mahomet was Christ-(lhese were
their pretensions.) The crusades were
"holy rars." The murder Of the Waldens-
es and Hugenois was Gods service. The
banishmenls of Baptists, and the hanging
of Quakers in Massachusetts = the drown
ing and crushing to death OF the Salem
witches, were all done for the "glory Of
God" The church and priesthood have
consecrated rum, rum-shops and distilleries,
slave-auctions and slave holding, war, re-
yenge, lust and murder. Look here! The
