To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But Toleration may be viewed in a much stronger light. Man worships not himself, but his Maker ; and the liberty of conscience which he claims is not for the service of him- self, but of his God. In this case, therefore, we must necessarily have the associated idea of two things; the mortal vfho renders the worship, and the IMMORTAL BEING who is worshipped. Toleration, therefore, places itself, not between man and man, nor between church and church, nor between one denomination of religion and ...another, but be- tween God and man ; between the being who worships, and the Being who is worshipped ; and by the same act of as- sumed authority which it tolerates man to pay his worship, it presumptuously and blasphemously sets itself up to tolerate the Almighty to receive it. Were a bill brought into any Parliament, entitled, " An Act to tolerate or grant liberty to the Almighty to receive the worship of a Jew or a Turk,'* or " to prohibit the Almighty from receiving it," all men would startle and call it blas- phemy.
