AN ACT for establishing religious freedom, passed
In the Assembly Of Virginia in the beginning Of
the year 1886:
Well aware that Almighty God hath created the
mind free that all attempts TO influence Il by tenn.
porl punishments or burdens, or by civil incapa-
citations, tend only to beget habits Of hypocrisy
and moanness, and are departure from the plan
Of the Holy Author Of our religion, who, being Lord
both Of body and of mind, yet chose not to prop
agate by coercions either, as was in his almighty
power to do; that the impious presumption of leg
slatures and rulers, civil as wen as ecclesiastical
who, being Themselves but hllibe and uninspired
men, have assumed dominion over the faith of
Others setting up their own opinions and modes OF
thinking the only true and infaible and as such
endeavoring TO impose them upon others, hath ee-
tablished and maintained false religions over the
greatest part Of the world, and through all tine
that 10 compel man TO furnish contributions OF
money for the propagation Of opinions which he
disbelieves Is sinful and tyrannica; that even the
forcing him 70 support this that teacher of his
own religious persuasion Ia depnving him of the
comfortable liberty Of giving bis contributions
TO the parhculrr pastor whose morals he would
make his pattern, and whose powers he feels most

the ministry those temporal rewards, which. pro-
ceeding frtm an appreciation Of their personal con-
duct, are m additional incitement 20 earnest and
unremittirg labors for the instruction Of mankind
that our cvil rights have no dependence on our re.
ligious opinions more than our opinions In physics
or geomary; that, therefore, the prescribing OF
any citizsn ~ unworthy the public confidence by
laying upon him an incapscity Of being called to
the oflices OF trust and emoument unless he pro-
fess or snounce this or that religious opinion. is
dcprivirg him irjuriousy of those privileges and
advantages 70 which, In common with his fellow
citizens he has natural right; that 1t tends also

mesntto encourage, by bribing, with monopoly
OF vo'ldly honors, those who win externally pro-
fess aid conform 70 Ii that though, indeed, those

tions yet neither are those innocent who lay the
