And yet there is nothing so badly imagined: nature seems to have provided, that the follies of men should be transient, but they by writing books render them permanent.

إذا رأت قوانين دولة معاناة أديان كثيرة وجب عليها أن تلزم هذه الأديان بالتسامح نحو بعضها بعضًا، ومن المبادئ أن يصبح كل دين مزجور زاجرًا، وذلك أنه إذا استطاع الخروج من دائرة الضغط مصادفة لم يلبث أن يهاجم الدين الذي ضغطه عن طغيان، لا عن دين. ومن المفيد، إذن أن تطلب القوانين من هذه الأديان المختلفة ألا يكدر بعضها صفو بعض فضلًا عن عدم تكدير صفو الدولة، ولا يعد المواطن مطيعًا للقوانين مطلقًا باقتصاره على عدم تكدير كيان الدولة، بل يجب عليه أيضًا، ألا يكدر أحدًا من المواطنين أيًّا كان.
