By the ten•r (toned person are ' cret i o n, and merc their own body, anJ arbitrary in ,j, I equivition) CJ nduct, 'without less without those loyalty and peaceable _ redress or appeal from a decision that mardiltitive them of their character, and- evoritdelfy of ,their country, to which all British subjects steantitled. Idly, By appointing cit-lain lay persons., pro, rasing the Catholic Religion, to senate the loyalty., of the Catbolic.Prelature and Clergy (whereas it it the office, as it has bees the• practice of title latter, by. their ministetial &dr,' to secure that of the former), and by admitting the oath of a few la,•Catholimos a sur9Cent security, and rejecting that of the- whole Catholic Prelature and Clergy as insecure, these wruld be andeservedly degraded in iheir ci r lusd social charactets, before their own body end the public at large. The Constitution of the Catholic Chureb h. essentially Episcopal; whereas the tendency of the proposed clauses, is to render it, in this kingdom, in a great degree deuiocmtical, by making the INshops and Clergy dependent :on theie laity, both as to their appointment and their ministry, 'Thus, for example, if the Clergy should not preach, or minister, or write, according to the . opinions or the sentiments of the lay Cotamissionerw;* it is out of the order of things-that they should be judged worthy by the lat ter of a tesiiitionial -of peaceable Conduct. 4thly, To be a Catholic Commissioner it . is WI; iltint, wetting to the clauses of the Rill, 6 ' to pro= 1 , 5 s the Roman Catholic Religion.:" now this may aid has been done by many persons who have set its essential doctrines, discipline, and spiritual authority at op! defiance. The tendency, therefore, of the in question, is to subvert the Religion, which t!.e Bill professes to protect. 5:111y, It would be an act of schism against the Catholic Religion, for any member of it, by word or act, to concur to that clause which declares, that persons in. Holy Orders—appointed, according to the usages of the Roman Catholic Church, to exer cise episcopal duties, shall not be capable of exer cising such duties—in whose favour a major part of ' , the Commissioners shall have-refused to certify their loyalty and peaceable conduct." Of course, no Cithi)lir, and still more no Catholic Bishop, can, .7 , nisl,tetatly with his religion, accept of or act under :fir Commission in question. • Notwithstanding all, this, it is humbly presumed lilt no danger to the Establishment in Church or can arise from the proposed admission of Ca. tuoiL , laymen to civil or military privi!eges, is con-. I•tence of their Bishops and Clergy continuing to _; elect other Bishops (as they .have hitherto done, without restraint or complaipt from the Legis lature, and conformably to the practice of the iifferent classes of Dissenters), because the, are all his Majesty's sworn and approved 'loyal subjects; because they are ready to swear• that, "t hey will 'lose none but th os e w h om th e y consc i en tiously be. Here to be such," [and it must he admitted that they know one another'i conduct and dispositions better than any layman, whether Catholic or Protestant, CAD know them ) ) and because it h evidently their interest and that of their religion, as well as it is their duty to provide, to the best of their power, that their Prelates should not only be loyal and or. poss ib le, accepta bl e to riPily, but al so , as much as his Majesty's Government. ithly, With respect to any communicetion be.
