With the home influences which I have described, it may be readily imagined that my young mind turned very much upon the subject of religion, the more so as my father and mother took different views upon it. The old Puritan soldier held that the bible alone contained all things essential to salvation¹, and that though it might be advisable that those who were gifted with wisdom or eloquence³ should expound⁴ the Scriptures⁵ to their brethren, it was by no means necessary, but rather hurtful and degrading, that any organised body of ministers or of bishops⁶ should claim special prerogatives⁷, or take the place of mediators between the creature and the Creator. For the wealthy dignitaries of the Church, rolling in their carriages to their cathedrals, in order to preach the doctrines⁹ of their Master, who wore His sandals out in tramping over the countryside, he professed¹⁰ the most bitter contempt; nor was he more lenient¹¹ to those poorer members of the clergy¹² who winked¹³ at the vices¹⁴ of their patrons that they might secure a seat at their table, and who would sit through a long evening of profanity rather than bid good-bye to the cheesecakes and the wine flask
