The threatenings of religion are so terrible, and its promises so great, that when they actuate the mind, whatever efforts the magistrate may use to oblige us to renounce it, he seems to leave us nothing when he deprives us of the exercise of our religion, and to bereave us of nothing when we are allowed to profess it.
Erlijioak hain mehatxu handiak ditu, hain promesa handiak, non, gure espirituan present direnean, nahiz eta magistratuak eginahalak egin hura abandona dezagun, bai baitirudi ez digutela ezer uzten hura kentzen digutenean, eta ez digutela ezer kentzen hura uzten digutenean.
