In Europe it is legs that no pure-minded woman is supposed to possess. In China we worship our mother-in-law and despise our wife; in England we treat our wife with respect, and regard our mother-in-law as the bulwark of comic journalism. The stone age, the iron age, the age of faith, the age of infidelism, the philosophic age, what are they but the passing fashions of the world?
How was it possible for an Arian to answer this? But it was impossible; and Arianism was extinguished by Waterland, but in order to the increase of Socinianism; and this, I doubt not, Waterland foresaw. He was too wise a man to suppose that the exposure of the folly and falsehood of one form of Infidelism would cure or prevent Infidelity.
They would like to be the “doctors,” and treat the “orthodox” people so as to purge “popular free discussion” out of them, and at the same time have their own stomachs crammed full of that grace, and so “steal heaven’s livery to serve the devil.” The above infidelism is copied verbatim from the “concluding application” of the life of Thomas Paine by Calvin Blanchard, published in 1879, and being now peddled over our country.
In fashionable life, flippancy, tepid amours, weak infidelism, small aims, or no aims at all, only to kill time. The magician's serpent in the fable ate up all the other serpents; and money-making is our magician's serpent, remaining today sole master of the field. The best class we show, is but a mob of fashionably dress'd speculators and vulgarians.
And I have found your vaunted America honeycomb'd from top to toe with infidelism, even to itself and its own programme. I have mark'd the brazen hell-faces of secession and slavery gazing defiantly from all the windows and doorways. I have everywhere found, primarily, thieves and scalliwags arranging the nominations to offices, and sometimes filling the offices themselves.
