Analysis
At the commencement of the letter Ben Franklin, lets us know he is replying to a letter, when he says, “I have read your manuscript with some attention.” Franklin gives us a tone that he is far against the manuscript Thomas pain wrote on the topic of a providential God. In the second phrase Franklin argues using logos, saying that going against the idea of providence in any religion deteriorates the religion itself. “Though you allow a general Providence, you strike at the foundations of all religion. For without the belief of a Providence, that takes cognizance of, guards, and guides, and may favor particular persons, there is no motive to worship a Deity, to fear his displeasure, or to pray for his protection.” Franklin argues strongly against Pains ideology using his own opinions and uses a metaphor to show going against gods views hurts your self, and I quote He that spits against the wind, spits in his own face. In the second paragraph Franklins appeals more to pathos, he tries to give examples og what could happen if his ideology broke through to the people. “For among us it is not necessary, as among the Hottentots, that a youth, to be raised into the company of men, should prove his manhood by beating his mother.” Last Benjamin closes the letter by advising Thomas Paine nicely to give in to god and quit his manuscript. I would advise you, therefore, not to attempt unchaining the tiger, but to burn this piece before it is seen by any other person; whereby you will save yourself a great deal of mortification by the enemies it may raise against you, and perhaps a good deal of regret and repentance.
