The Principles and Practice of Freethinkers. . . [1/4
column]  The numerous adherents to this flourishing sect
believe in nothing but what is agreeable to their corrupt
appetites, their unruly wills and affections.  The Devil is
their archbishop. . . [7 lines] their psalms are the new
songs that are sung at the publick gardens, the playhouses,
and the Opera-house; and their alms the presents they make
to pimps, bawds, and young whores;  public worship fatigues
them, and evening prayers are an irreparable loss of time; a
playbill is their collect for the day, gazettes and
chronicles are their epistles. . .
