The Monitor on Conscience and State Law in Religion
A reflective tract argues against imposing penalties on Dissenters for worship when distance and conscience hinder attendance. It traces history from Jewish and Heathen precedents to Christian zealots, warning that clerical ambition can corrupt civil power and invite heavenly vengeance. The piece cites Abiathar, Manasses, and Chrysostom to illustrate how religious zeal can challenge rulers.
