In every other country vou will find on inquiry that the case is precisely the same. Wherever the inkabitants of any country are found to have abandoned the true God or rejected the true religion, it will be found that, through the injustice of the rulers of that country, its government has passed, or is passing from the inhabitants to foreigners.
