- summary: And with respect to People of a serious and religious Turn of Mind, the manifest and almost general Contempt, or at least Neglect, of the Duties of Religion gives a great Advantage to the Emissaries of _Rome_ to impose on their Weakness, and to persuade them that they can have no Hopes in the Religion of a Church, where Religion itself is hardly to be found. If those who have been destroyed by Fire from Heaven, or swallowed up by the Earth were _Sinners_, and we are _righteous_, let us fear nothing, nor be dismayed though the _Foundations_ of the Earth be removed: But if our Consciences tell us, that we have sinned after their Example, what Consolation is there to be had against the just Expectation of suffering after their Example also?
