A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all. Abuse if you slight it, will gradually die away; but if you show yourself irritated, you will be thought to have deserved it. All enterprises that are entered into with indiscreet zeal may be pursued with great vigor at first, but are sure to collapse in the end. All things atrocious and shameless flock from all parts to Rome.
