He has not a moral right, for he ought to inform himself, and think justly. But, sir, no member of a society has a right to teach any doctrine con- trary to what the society holds to be true." If he does so teach, he also held, whether he be individ- ually right or wrong, he may be punished. In the above definition of liberty of conscience. Dr. John- son appears too confined. True, a man may think what he likes, because no man can tell what another man's thoughts are, but it is liberty to expre...ssion of thought that is contended for. At the same time, we can very plainly see, that no man should be permitted " to teach any doctrine contrary to what the society holds to be true." No, a man could not conscientiously do so ; he must, of necessity, go out of the so- ciety ; but will the society, or any other party, have a right to persecute him after he is gone out ? Thus the first Christians came out from among the Jews, and the Protestants from among the Roman Catholics : for the same persons could not teach Christianity and remain as Jews, or propagate the tenets of Protestantism and hold with the E-oman Catholic Church.
