About this listen

 In which the liberties of reason and choice granted by divine Providence are extolled as the foundation of virtue, and the futility of attempting to eradicate sin by mere prohibition of its outward matter is demonstrated with measured reflection. The encumbrances and discouragements imposed by a strict licencing order upon learned men and the free exercise of truth are lamented as both a dishonour to authors and a perilous restraint upon the flourishing of knowledge, forewarning that such a yoke may breed a servitude more grievous than that overcome.
