To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The heart of such a sect lies in its rind. Like the exogenous plants, in botany, it increases from the outside between the heart and the bark. It is not an atmos- phere, but a fence, once within which, all may do as they list. It is an army to which come every variety of men, unquestioned and unmolested, so that they fight for their colors. But a true and christian toleration is like none of these shrivelled and decrepit pretences. It is that noble estimation of the sacredness of the mind's fre...edom, and that fearless confidence in the power of the truth to meet every incursion of error, that leads ingenuous, earnest minds to withhold from violence, civil and moral. It is not carelessness of truth, but magnanimous confidence in it : it is not indifference to error, but a love of justice which insists that even error shall be tried by mind, and not by force or votes, or frigid canons. Religious intolerance is, in some respects, worse than all others, as it has conscience on its side. Like every other con- stitutional emotion, conscience has no eyes of its own.
