In vain would /the attention be drawn from the heathen/ reference be made to the Christian world: the argument would not be mended. To the Neros the Caligulas the Commodus’s the Caracullas would now be to be substituted the Henry the 8 th

Henry VIII (1491–1547), King of England from 1509 and King of Ireland from 1541.

Under the Guelphes no less than under the Stuarts, the Monarch is indeed Most Excellent—believe (himself) as he may still and not the less most excellent. He is so, and /not only/ most gracious and /but/ most religious by the most incontrovertible titles—by the /Church of/ /[...?]/ Liturgy of the Church of England established by Act of Parliament. Let him stand forth and upon the throne say with the [...?] [...?] /what Charles the 2 d used to /has so often heard and said/ hear and say at table/There is no God still he would not be the less religious. But according to the same incontestable authority the same Most Excellent person, endowed as (we learn from Blackstone that he is) Jb marginal alternative: ‘ + Blackstone upon the [...?] of his [...?] informs /assures/ us.’ he is with so ample a portion of the divine attributes, this most excellent person, who all the time he stands on English ground is so much higher than the Angels, in what is it he is most excellent? In what but in the fruits of original sin that torment which attaches upon him /runs through his veins/ in no less virulence than in those of the meanest

Draw not the attention from the heathen world to the Christian: the argument would not be mended: Hen. 8, Ch.9. Philip 2. Christiene would not mend it. Under Hen.8. mixture of Catholicism under Ed.6. Protestantism: under Mary Catholicism; under Eliz and James I and Ch.1: Church of Englandism; under: Catholicism and Atheism under Ch.2.

15.

True, under Guelphes as under Stuarts Monarch, believe as he may, Most Excellent. Hence Most Religion by Liturgy and Statue as omniscience is regularly inferred by attributes from Blackstone rendered higher than the Angels.

Yet daily self-confessed not less a miserable sinner than the meanest radical.

    King - his Majesty - his most excellent Majesty.

    Great /Vast/ indeed is the importance attached to this name. Not only of the force of the popular and moral but of that of the religious sanction is thus pressed into the service of the functionary thus denominated. King is the title, and the only by which Monarchs are designated in the English translation of the Old Testament /Bible/ King is the title and the only title by which Monarchs are designated in the New Testament. King is at the head of the titles given to God /bestowed upon the Divinity/ King is at he head of the titles bestowed upon Jesus.

    King is the only subject, to which in the logical sence or as they say the logic of the word subject the attribute designated by the attribute Most Excellent is capable of adhering: a King the only functionary who under Church of Englandism will its Liturgy would be capable of receiving the benefit derivable /obtainable/ /obtained/ from /confirmed in/ the prayers /for him/ of that electrical operation, by which in such copious streams the prayers of the Church draw down from the clouds upon that consecrated head.

    Meantime not a day passes but if peradventure he can find case for such a collection of seconds[?] not a day passes but in that Liturgy /form of prayer/ what has been established by Act of Parliament he stands assured /learns as /receives for/ an unquestionable/ that the Monarch, whatsoever by his known view whatsoever his known contempt for religion is that Charles the second for example was - not only the most gracious but the most religious of all men as well as of all kings.

    Presently after, scarce has he commenced his Blackstone when he receives as another uncontradicted truth that such are the attributes belonging to the same most religious King, that it is almost a condescension in this earthly sovereign to be a religious one as towards the heavenly one that his place in the hierarchy is above that of any heathen God, and rather higher than a little lower than that of the Angels and other heavenly Ministers of grace by whom he is defended, and it is after having been duly impregnated with this half-profane half-sacred lore[?] that in his future character of Country Magistrate he prepares himself for sacrificing on the newly erected political those demagogues /turbulent spirits/ who fondly[?] regarding free discussion unbribed and coerced discussion as a necessary instrument for the discovery of important truths have by questioning any thing of that which they have been /being unable to understand they are/ commanded to believe /by controverting any thing of that which men are so richly paid for professing to believe/ placed themselves in the predicament of blasphemers.

    meanest of his subjects as that miserable sinfulness in which he possesses an undistinguished share, with them, according to the /[...?]/ acknowledgment made by him as often as /every time/ that withl that sacred formulary for his prompter he makes his obeisance /does homage/ to that Monarch in whom alone he beholds a /his/ superior in heaven any more than on earth.

    Not to speak of Charles the 2d whose /contempt of religion [...?] itself/ Atheism was confined to the convivial tables, think of Frederic the Great of Prussia, whose statements on that subject were in his life time and under his own orders made manifest by his printed and published works. But whatsoever this Frederic was in a the Prussian Monarchy every other King is according to the doctrine in question is in his own Monarchy, if the one is so is the other. If the bigot is so is the Atheist this [...?] sole sufficient and necessary guide in the path of religious truth.

    Behold then on one hand Frederic the Great of Prussia: from the contempt which with such /a little reason/ [...?] [...?] of reason he professed for all religion—suppose him what might at any time have happened by this or that precocity or ill humour, led in to hatred: /excited by the people/ suppose him to have taken a course /[...?]/ similar in its object with that which under such provocations as they had received from the use made of religion, /taken/ by the /Republican/ Revolutionists of France. Where would then have been the security for peace, tranquillity, [...?] order, good order in this life, with eternal salvation instead of direct damnation added by way of Appendix, to be enjoyed in the life to come?

    Charles 2d Atheism was confined to the Tables—Fredericks were by him spread by the press. Behold there the sole sufficient and necessary guide to religious truth.

    By resistance or provocation, suppose his contempt for religion turned into hatred as in the case of the French Revolutionists. Where then the security for peace now, and against damnation in the life and world to come?
