Excerpt from War: A Poem, in Three Parts

That this should still be the case, notwith standing the wide dissemination of that religion, whose great doctrine is peace and good will on earth, is truly deplorable; and to those who know how early in life the mind receives a bias from education, it ought to be a subject of serious inquiry, why, while with our lips we profess ourselves followers of Christ, the ao tions, which we most love to celebrate and glory in performing, should be like those of the heathens, whose most powerful deities were but their own evil passions personified.
