PICTURE OF SUP ERST IT/'N.
SUP- RSTI MON is a kind
of inconfiltenr, trilling lcrupulo
iiiy It dikovers idelf in a ser
vant zeal tor lus matters of in
difference, or fmali importance,
while things of real weight are
overlooked. It lays ilrd's on
pra&ites that have no connexion
with virtue, and opinions that
make no man wiler or better,
and have neither evidence to
I'upport them, nor ulefuli els to
recommend them; and rejects
them that have both. In the
exprelfive language of lac red
*.viir, “ it (trains at a gnat, and
1 wallows a ce.tnel.” It fpri.igs
ironi ignorance of men and
things, from talk* notions of the
i)i<-ty and his government, andj
ablurd conceptions of the nature
of piety and virtue. It is guid-!
e i by me traditions and opinion;!
of men, more than by sober ica
lon, and plain revelation. It is
credulous in loinc favourite mat
ters j in others blind to argu
ment. It is huffy in us judg
ment, and ralh in its conduct ■,
vain in its opinion of itleif j fond
of lhovv and parade ; attached
to a party ; cenlorious of ochers ;
and apt to make divilions and
lepautions in society, ur.dei
pretence of superior wil'dom or
lanctiry. It juthiies in its favour
ites what it condemns in every
body else. It is tierce and malm
nant in its temper i ft iff and obiti
nate in its femiments and practi
ces j much given to complaint
of perlecution from others, ye
unmercifully cruet towards them,
and scrupulous of no meaiures tc
make prolelytes, or extirpate op
ponents. 1c is dark and i'ufpici
ous, gloomy and f'ullen, timo
rous and irrelolutc, it fears im
aginary evils, trufls in i.r.a
girary means of feruritv Ir
attempts to commute for the ne
gleft of eflrntial duties, by great
feveritv, and punctilious exadl
nefs in little things labours
to placate an offended Deity, and
conci rue his favour, by arbitra
ry, ui r-quired, ufelels, unavail
ing obfcrvances. In a word fu
perftit.on fetters the underltand
mg, deprtfLs the spirits, embit
'ers the temper, disturbs the pas
sions, and spoils the manners.
