To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Besides, he was assured that his God would pardon every thing as soon as he should consent to recur to his priests, ahvays ready to reconcile him. The most wicked subjects reckoned, in the same manner, upon their divine assist- ance : thus religion, far from restrain- ing them, assured them of impunity ; its menaces could not destroy the ef- fects which its unworthy flattery had produced in princes ; these same men- aces could not annihilate the hopes which its expiations furnished to all. Sove...reigns, puffed up with pride, or al- ways certain of expiating their crimes, no longer feared the Gods ; become Gods themselves, they believed they were permitted to do any thing against poor pitiful mortals, whom they no longer considered in any other light than as playthings, destined to amuse them on this earth.
If the nature of man were consult- ed in politics, which supernatural ideas have so shamefully depraved, it would completely rectify the false notions which are entertained equally by sove- reigns and subjects: it would con- tribute, more amply than all the reli- gions in the Avorld.
