To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We would, in short, prostrate this "unhallowed temple" so that "there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.'^ This is the direct and obvious purpose to be accomplished by but efforts. But, sir, there are results indirectly connected with^ the existence of anti-masonry, which present no ordinary claims to our regard. I allude to its influence upon the general character of our country and of the age. In contemplating the subject in this light, events of other ti...mes present a parallel which is not destitute of instruction. The reformation of the 16th century, for example, though primarily a religious reformation, exerted, in various other respects, an influence .of deep and lasting importance to Europe and to the world. It was not a mere eman- cipation from the spiritual dominion of the Papal See ; but it broke the shackles which bound the human intellect. It taught men to think ; it brought mind into conflict with mind ; it as- serted the right of free enquiry and private judgment ; and it kindled the spark of that liberty which now burns upon the altars of our country.
