Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Case of Moderation and Occasional Communion: Represented by Way of Caution to the True Sons of the Church of England
Fools as to be cheated with their Eyes open, they mutt firfi: be dazzled and blinded with fair and fpecious Pretences. And fo far as fuch Pretenfions prevail, fo far are the Perfons in danger on whom they prevail. The Mifchief always bears a Proportion to the Quality of the Fraud and the Sphere in which it moves: If it be baited for privateand?part'iculai Men, the In?uence aifo is private and particular, and no Man fufi'ers but he that Swallows the Gudgeon. But if it be laid for the Publick; if the Defign be againfi the Confiituti'on, if a Nation, or a Church, are to be' couzen'g, the whole is in Jeopard and the Men of Honefiy and Penetration, who fee through 31 the Difguifes, ' are equally in volv'd in the Common Danger though notjin the Guilt and F01 ly they are overwhelm'd with the Knavery and Felly of the tell, and their feeing and difcover'ingthe Snares and Traps, will nor prevent. Their being catch'd, but only augment the Smart of it, and their forefight borh antcdates and in?ames the fery. If the Mines be dug, and the Trains laid, and a Party within ready to joyn the Party without: If thofe whofe proper bufmefs it is, either do nor fee this, or connive at it if they do, it will require no Prophecy to forerei the Event.
