A government held together by the bands of reason only, requires much
compromise of opinion; that things even salutary should not be crammed down
the throats of dissenting brethren, especially when they may be put into a
form to be willingly swallowed, and that a great deal of indulgence is
necessary to strengthen habits of harmony and fraternity.
