Critics attack'd his writings violently, and with so much appearance of reason as to diminish the number of his votaries and prevent their encrease; so that I am of opinion if he had never written any thing, he would have left behind him a much more numerous and important sect, and his reputation might in that case have been still growing, even after his death, as there being nothing of his writing on which to found a censure and give him a lower character, his proselytes would be left at liberty to feign for him as great a variety of excellence as their enthusiastic admiration might wish him to have possessed.
他的敌人猛烈地攻击了他的著作,看起来他们的批评好像十分有道理,这样他的信徒减少了,他们的人数也不再增长了。 因此我认为假如他不曾发表什么文章,他留下的信徒一定会多得多,他建立的教派一定还会更重要,同时他的声誉即使在他死后也许还会不断增长,因为没有著作就没有根据,无从加以谴责或是毁谤,他的信徒们就可以任意想象他具有一连串的优秀品质,由于他们热烈地崇拜他,他们会希望他具有这些高贵品质的。
