He is able, accordingly, to indulge in the twofold luxury not only of preserving his own authority, but also of assisting the persons attacked to enter, if they so choose, the way of truth.
Each age makes some idol in its own image and sacrifices upon its altar the freedom of those who refuse it worship.
