Behold hydra-headed infidelity stalking over New England, in clerical robes. Behold others, who have so far lost sight of their calling, and the spirit of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that they are opposing the execution of the laws of our common country! Sowing dissentions and exciting feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred among our citizens.
There is not therefore this pretence to impose upon any one the belief of any thing which they do not find to be reveal'd in Scripture; the doing of which, has not only caus'd deplorable dissentions among Christians, but also been an occasion to multitudes of well meaning People of having so confus'd and unsatisfactory conceptions and apprehensions concerning the Christian Religion as tho' perhaps not absolutely, or immediately prejudicial to their Salvation, yet are so to their seeing clearly that Christianity is a rational Religion; without which few will be very secure from the infection of Scepticism, or Infidelity, where those are become fashionable, and prevailing.
"No, but it pulled me down, and stood over me, and gnashed its teeth oh! it was horrible." "The cursed, vagabond scoundrel!" growled the steward, "I will teach him how to behave in a strange house!" "Let him be," said Selene, as she saw her father about to don the saffron cloak. "What is done cannot be undone, and if quarrels and dissentions come of it, it will make you ill."
Amidst the dissentions of two parties, between which neither reason nor humanity can discover a preference, a third seems to have formed itself, equally inimical to, and hated by both. At the head of it are Danton, Camille Desmoulins, Philipeaux, &c.

And before the fire-water came among them, dissentions of any kind were almost unknown. This has been the fruitful source of all their woes.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah, even Issachar and also Barak; he was sent on foot into the valley. They descended into the valley as foot soldiers, with Barak, and trembled not at the chariots and cavalry of Sisera. Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? Alas, for the dissentions of Reuben!
At the Time the Poem we are now treating of was written, the Dissentions of the Barons, who were then so many petty Princes, ran very high, whether they quarrelled among themselves, or with their Neighbours, and produced unspeakable Calamities to the Country: The Poet, to deter Men from such unnatural Contentions, describes a bloody Battle and dreadful Scene of Death, occasioned by the mutual Feuds which reigned in the Families of an English and Scotch Nobleman: That he designed this for the Instruction of his Poem, we may learn from his four last Lines, in which, after the Example of the modern Tragedians, he draws from it a Precept for the Benefit of his Readers.
My temper leads me to peace and harmony with all men; and it is peculiarly my wish to avoid any personal feuds or dissentions with those who are embarked in the same great national interest with, myself; as every difference of this kind must in its consequence be very injurious." After this affair subsided, Washington said, "I made a point of treating Gen.
And that body itself was often distracted by party dissentions, and rendered powerless to exercise even its acknowledged authority, through disagreement. To Washington and other sagacious minds, the Articles of Confederation had been regarded as essentially defective as a system of government, long before the war had ceased.
It was, perhaps, at first, a common-place strife; but at length it assumed the shape of a settled hostility.
