1732. Mandeville takes it for granted that a Christian is not bound to believe anything to have been of divine institution, that has not been declared to be such in Holy Writ. Great offense was taken at an essay, in the first part of the author's Fable of the Bees, called An Inquiry into the Origin of Moral Virtue, notwithstanding the great caution it was written with. Since then, it is though criminal to surmise that even heathen virtue was of human invention and the reader, in the following dialogues, will find him to persist in the opinion that it was. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Written in Old English text.
