      They offer up no living creature in sacrifice�察�nor do they think 


      it suitable to the Divine Being�察�from whose bounty it is that 


      these creatures have derived their lives�察�to take pleasure in 


      their deaths�察�or the offering up of their blood。 They burn incense 


      and other sweet odors�察�and have a great number of wax lights 


      during their worship�察�not out of any imagination that such 


      oblations can add anything to the divine nature�察�which even 


      prayers cannot do�察�but as it is a harmless and pure way of 


      worshipping God�察�so they think those sweet savors and lights�察�


      together with some other ceremonies�察�by a secret and unaccountable 


      virtue�察�elevate men's souls�察�and inflame them with greater energy 


      and cheerfulness during the divine worship。





      All the people appear in the temples in white garments�察�but the 


      priest's vestments are parti´colored�察�and both the work and colors 


      are wonderful。 They are made of no rich materials�察�for they are 


      neither embroidered nor set with precious stones�察�but are composed 


      of the plumes of several birds�察�laid together with so much art and 


      so neatly�察�that the true value of them is far beyond the costliest 


      materials。 They say that in the ordering and placing those plumes 


      some dark mysteries are represented�察�which pass down among their 


      priests in a secret tradition concerning them�察�and that they are 


      as hieroglyphics�察�putting them in mind of the blessings that they 


      have received from God�察�and of their duties both to Him and to 


      their neighbors。 As soon as the priest appears in those ornaments�察�


      they all fall prostrate on the ground�察�with so much reverence and 


      so deep a silence that such as look on cannot but be struck with 


      it�察�as if it were the effect of the appearance of a deity。 After 


      they have been for some time in this posture�察�they all stand up�察�


      upon a sign given by the priest�察�and sing hymns to the honor of 


      God�察�some musical instruments playing all the while。 These are 


      quite of another form than those used among us�此�but as many of 


      them are much sweeter than ours�察�so others are made use of by us。





      Yet in one thing they very much exceed us�察�all their music�察�both 


      vocal and instrumental�察�is adapted to imitate and express the 


      passions�察�and is so happily suited to every occasion�察�that whether 


      the subject of the hymn be cheerful or formed to soothe or trouble 


      the mind�察�or to express grief or remorse�察�the music takes the 


      impression of whatever is represented�察�affects and kindles the 


      passions�察�and works the sentiments deep into the hearts of the 


      hearers。 When this is done�察�both priests and people offer up very 


      solemn prayers to God in a set form of words�察�and these are so 


      composed�察�that whatsoever is pronounced by the whole assembly may 


      be likewise applied by every man in particular to his own 


      condition�察�in these they acknowledge God to be the author and 


      governor of the world�察�and the fountain of all the good they 


      receive�察�and therefore offer up to Him their thanksgiving�察�and in 


      particular bless Him for His goodness in ordering it so that they 


      are born under the happiest government in the world�察�and are of a 


      religion which they hope is the truest of all others�此�but if they 


      are mistaken�察�and if there is either a better government or a 


      religion more acceptable to God�察�they implore Him goodness to let 


      them know it�察�vowing that they resolve to follow Him whithersoever 


      He leads them。 But if their government is the best and their 


      religion the truest�察�then they pray that He may fortify them in 


      it�察�and bring all the world both to the same rules of life�察�and to 


      the same opinions concerning Himself�察�unless�察�according to the 


      unsearchableness of His mind�察�He is pleased with a variety of 


      religions。 Then they pray that God may give them an easy passage 


      at last to Himself�察�not presuming to set limits to Him�察�how early 


      or late it should be�察�but if it may be wished for�察�without 


      derogating from His supreme authority�察�they desire to be quickly 


      delivered�察�and to be taken to Himself�察�though by the most terrible 


      kind of death�察�rather than to be detained long from seeing Him by 


      the most prosperous course of life。 When this prayer is ended�察�


      they all fall down again upon the ground�察�and after a little while 


      they rise up�察�go home to dinner�察�and spend the rest of the day in 


      diversion or military exercises。





      Thus have I described to you�察�as particularly as I could�察�the 


      constitution of that commonwealth�察�which I do not only think the 


      best in the world�察�but indeed the only commonwealth that truly 


      deserves that name。 In all other places it is visible�察�that while 


      people talk of a commonwealth�察�every man only seeks his own 


      wealth�察�but there�察�where no man has any property�察�all men 


      zealously pursue the good of the public�此�and�察�indeed�察�it is no 


      wonder to see men act so differently�察�for in other commonwealths�察�


      every man knows that unless he provides for himself�察�how 


      flourishing soever the commonwealth may be�察�he must die of hunger�察�


      so that he sees the necessity of preferring his own concerns to 


      the public�察�but in Utopia�察�where every man has a right to 


      everything�察�they all know that if care is taken to keep the public 


      stores full�察�no private man can want anything�察�for among them 


      there is no unequal distribution�察�so that no man is poor�察�none in 


      necessity�察�and though no man has anything�察�yet they are all rich�察�


      for what can make a man so rich as to lead a serene and cheerful 


      life�察�free from anxieties�察�neither apprehending want himself�察�nor 


      vexed with the endless complaints of his wife�拭�He is not afraid of 


      the misery of his children�察�nor is he contriving how to raise a 


      portion for his daughters�察�but is secure in this�察�that both he and 


      his wife�察�his children and grandchildren�察�to as many generations 


      as he can fancy�察�will all live both plentifully and happily�察�since 


      among them there is no less care taken of those who were once 


      engaged in labor�察�but grow afterward unable to follow it�察�than 


      there is elsewhere of these that continue still employed。





      I would gladly hear any man compare the justice that is among them 


      with that of all other nations�察�among whom�察�may I perish�察�if I see 


      anything that looks either like justice or equity�此�for what 


      justice is there in this�察�that a nobleman�察�a goldsmith�察�a banker�察�


      or any other man�察�that either does nothing at all�察�or at best is 


      employed in things that are of no use to the public�察�should live 


      in great luxury and splendor�察�upon what is so ill acquired�察�and a 


      mean man�察�a carter�察�a smith�察�or a ploughman�察�that works harder 


      even than the beasts themselves�察�and is employed in labors so 


      necessary�察�that no commonwealth could hold out a year without 


      them�察�can only earn so poor a livelihood�察�and must lead so 


      miserable a life�察�that the condition of the beasts is much better 


      than theirs�拭�For as the beasts do not work so constantly�察�so they 


      feed almost as well�察�and with more pleasure�察�and have no anxiety 


      about what is to come�察�whilst these men are depressed by a barren 


      and fruitless employment�察�and tormented with the apprehensions of 


      want in their old age�察�since that which they get by their daily 


      labor does but maintain them at present�察�and is consumed as fast 


      as it comes in�察�there is no overplus left to lay up for old age。





      Is not that government both unjust and ungrateful�察�that is so 


      prodigal of its favors to those that are called gentlemen�察�or 


      goldsmiths�察�or such others who are idle�察�or live either by 


      flattery�察�or by contriving the arts of vain pleasure�察�and on the 


      other hand�察�takes no care of those of a meaner sort�察�such as 


      ploughmen�察�colliers�察�and smiths�察�without whom it could not 


      subsist�拭�But after the public has reaped all the advantage of 


      their service�察�and they come to be oppressed with age�察�sickness�察�


      and want�察�all their labors and the good they have done is 


      forgotten�察�and all the recompense given them is that they are left 


      to die in great misery。 The richer sort are often endea
