SERMON III. 109 fubjeft, we were to confine our attention to theory, it would be obvious to remark, that what appears to be the natural confequence of the propagation of Chriftlanity, and agree- able to the defign of God, as far as we can col- led: from general reafoning and attention to his revealed will, could not have any tendency neceffarily hoftile to religion or fociety ; and that whatever inconvenience may have fprung from the alliance, muft have proceeded from the erroneous principles u...pon which it was regulated, and can furnifli no juft argument againft the general propriety and advantage of a civil eftablifliment of religion. Thofc who, with avowed or concealed averfion to eftablilhments, reprefent the com- mencement of the decay of Chriftianity to have been coeval with the time of the adop- tion of it, with fecular fupport by Conftan- tine, feem not to have adverted to the many caufes of corruption which had begun to ope- rate previoufly to that period, in a Church built indeed on the virtues of its firft profef- fors ; and make no allowance for thofe fugi- tive and evanefcent circumftances which overfhadowed diftant ages ; though they have left no afcertained effects of their malignant influence.
