English commentary: "The state administration of sacred matters ... turns into a delicate balancing between both promoting and curbing religious diversity within the state, drawing the benefits from it while avoiding its inherent dangers. My argument in this chapter has been that the conception of a national religion in TP, ch. 8, sect. 46, is Spinoza's practical guide to how perform this balance act."
