Excerpt from Discourse: Delivered Before the Rhode-Island Historical Society, on the Evening of Wednesday, January 13, 1847

By what fraudful craft or cunning, then, was it, that this power to punish in matters of conscience came to be established throughout all Christendom, and has been continued down, in some Countries, to the present day - and how happened it that the odious office of punishing heretics, and enforcing uniformity of opinion, fell, both in Roman Catholic and Protestant Countries, on the civil magistrates? This question is fully answered by History.
