          ==========================================================
And who can doubt that it will lead to the worst disorders when minds
created free by God are compelled to submit slavishly to an outside will?
When we are told to deny our senses and subject them to the whim of others?
When people devoid of whatsoever competence are made judges over experts and
are granted authority to treat them as they please? These are the novelties
which are apt to bring about the ruin of commonwealths and the subversion of
the state.
