Our Saviour ex- prefsly declares, " My kingdom is not of this world:" And his religion was perfe- cuted and opprefTed, during the period of its greatert purity and perfection, and when the minifters of it had gifts and powers which are now unknown. The people could not delegate fuch a right H 2 to ioo ON TRUTH. to any man, or body of men : For the human mind is fo mutable, that no indi- vidual can fix a ftandard of his own faith, much lefs can he commifiion ano- ther to eftablifh one for him an...d his pofterity. And this power would in no hands be fo dangerous, as in thofe of the ftatefman or prieft, who has the folly and prefumption to think himfelf quali- fied to exercife it. Philocles, by his filence, feemed to acquiefce in what I had advanced : And when I apologifed, afterwards, for the interruption, which I had more than once occafioned, to the methodical difcuflion of the fubject in debate, he very politely replied, that the freedom of converfation aumits not of a rigid adherence to the precife rules of fyftem.
