Explore "The True-Born Englishman" by Daniel Defoe on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Wherever God erects a house of prayer, / The Devil always builds a chapel there: / And 'twill be found upon examination, / The latter has the largest congregation: / For ever since he first debauch'd the mind, / He made a perfect conquest of mankind.
With uniformity of service, he / Reigns with general aristocracy.
