How greatly has the prevalence of ido- latry been diminifhed in the world by chrif- tianity ! and how many regions of it are freed from the tyrannical fway of fuperfti- tion, and from the iron fceptre of cunning and felf-interefted priefts ! and what flavifh notions, what tormenting uncertainty, what fears, what terrors, what childiih fenti- ments, what empty hopes and frivolous joys, muft debafe and perplex mankind, where the abominations of idolatry prevail ! Calamities and horrors, from whic...h chrif- tianity has redeemed millions of human creatures, and ourfelves among them ; and 3 by 174 THE VALUE OF by their abolition has prepared the way for millions of mankind, and for us among them, to liberty, to peace of mind, to firm and generous principles ! That we are now no longer terrified at every uncommon ap- pearance in nature ; that we no longer per- ceive, at every ftep we take, the prognofti- cations and figns of imminent misfortune or approaching danger ; that we are not continually obliged to be contriving new forms of facrifice and new modes of expia- tion ; that we are no longer in dread of the cafual neglect or imperfect obfervance of numberlefs rites and ceremonies ; that we do not take every adverfe event that befalls us for the vengeance of an enraged God ; that we do not allow ourfelves implicitly to be led by others, but dare to follow our own fendments and feelings : for all thefe privileges and bleffings, we are indebted to the abolition of idolatry, and therefore to chriftianity.
