Excerpt from A Discourse on the Errors of Popery
Few subjects more deeply interest the inquiring mind, than the origin, progress, and decline of the Roman Empire. Progressing from inconsiderable beginnings, it gradually rose to that height of power and greatness, that all the known and civilized earth was subjected to its command.

The monuments of arms, arts, and sciences, of genius, learning, and taste, which still remain, suficiently de monstrate, how great was ancient Rome. They excite our curiosity concerning the causes of her grandeur and ruin they teach us, that 'it was not so much her for; tune, as her system, which produced her exaltation and in the issue, not physical necessity, but vice and luxury were the causes of her decay.
