“AND THUS YE LEAD AWAY THIS PEOPLE AFTER THE FOOLISH TRADITIONS OF YOUR FATHERS, AND ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN DESIRES; AND YE KEEP THEM DOWN; EVEN AS IT WERE IN BONDAGE, THAT YE MAY GLUT YOURSELVES WITH THE LABORS OF THEIR HANDS, THAT THEY DURST NOT LOOK UP WITH BOLDNESS, AND THAT THEY DURST NOT ENJOY THEIR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES.
YEA, THEY DURST NOT MAKE USE OF THAT WHICH IS THEIR OWN LEST THEY SHOULD OFFEND THEIR PRIESTS, WHO DO YOKE THEM ACCORDING TO THEIR DESIRES, AND HAVE BROUGHT THEM TO BELIEVE, BY THEIR TRADITIONS AND THEIR DREAMS AND THEIR WHIMS AND THEIR VISIONS AND THEIR PRETENDED MYSTERIES, THAT THEY SHOULD, IF THEY DID NOT DO ACCORDING TO THEIR WORDS, OFFEND SOME UNKNOWN BEING, WHO THEY SAY IS GOD — A BEING WHO NEVER HAS BEEN SEEN OR KNOWN, WHO NEVER WAS NOR EVER WILL BE.”
