There is a superstition in avoiding superstition, when men think to do best, if they go furthest from the superstition, formerly received; therefore care would be had that (as it fareth in ill purgings) the good be not taken away with the bad; which commonly is done, when the people is the reformer.

避开迷信也可能成为一种迷信：人们以为离旧有迷信越远就越好；因此应谨防像不当的泻药疗法那样，把好的与坏的一并除去——当大众充当改革者时，这种情形很常见。
