"I had no idea, however, that in Pennsylvania, the cradle of toleration and
freedom of religion, it could have arisen to the height you describe. This
must be owing to the growth of Presbyterianism. The blasphemy and absurdity
of the five points of Calvin, and the impossibility of defending them,
render their advocates impatient of reasoning, irritable, and prone to
denunciation."
"Their ambition and tyranny would tolerate no rival if they had power.
Systematical in grasping at an ascendancy over all other sects, they aim,
like the Jesuits, at engrossing the education of the country, are hostile to
every institution which they do not direct, and jealous at seeing others
begin to attend at all to that object." | R*o
