It is much to be lamented, -that few persons are well informed on the subject of the Catholic claims, and that very erroneous opinions are en tertained thereon, though it is of vital importance to the interest of the British Empire. It was stated in the House of Commons last Session of Parliament, that in some Popish States on the Continent, and particularly in Franck, Protes tants were admitted to seats in the Legislature, anti to the confidential offices in the Executive Government ; and it bus been therefore inferred, that the Irish Roman Catholics may be allowed an equal participation of privileges with their Prn testant fel!ow-subjects, without endangering the Constittitit, ..or the .lives and property of the latteritnit I hope to prove that this is a delusion. I n m y lust letter I proved, that 03 , the fundit, mental 'canons of the Romish Church, which are .deelared to be infallible rind immutable, treason to a Protestant - State is prescribed as a religions duty to its Votaries, who are absolved from their oaths of allegiance to it, and that by them they are assured of a full remission of _sins, for pion dering and destroying heretics: low Protestants are taught by their creed, which is derived solely from the Holy Scriptures, Christian charity, brotherlylove, forgiveness of injuries, and per fect fidelity,ftnd obedience to the Government, of what ~religlous persuasion snow. It is hence evident, that Protestants may with the utmost safety to a,Popish State be:admitted, in the moat unlimited manner, to all civil privileges and po litical powers.; but the tenets of the Roman Catholic Church, and their practical effects under Protestant Governments, evince beyond contra diction that' its votaries cannot be entitled to the sane COafidellee under them. Henry IV, of France, the father of his people, was so conscious of -the pure morals of Prntes► tants, and of their:fidelity to every State, that he ordered Thuitaus, President of the Parliament of Paris, and Ganglion, Chancellor of Navarre, in the year 1598, to frame the Edict of Nantes ; by rjrieyypltestants were admitted to all the civil and pnlitictillitivilege of the State. 7 'l 4 nr:this act of justice and humanity, he was excommunicated by the Pope, who absolved his subjects rmn their oath of allegiance, and in consequence of this he tell a prey to the dagger of all assassin. Henry 111. his predecessor, because instead of persecuting, he protected his Protestant subjects,' was exeunt ninnicated ea a favourer of heretics, by Pope- Six toil V. who absolved his subjects from their oath of allegiance to him, which led Friar Clement to murder him. The States General of France as sembled in the year 1613, alarmed at the'assassl nation of two successive Monarchs, in consequence cif- Papal nitsndates, the Commons, or tiers elat, made a tieilitration, - tlest no person on-.earth had a power to deprive the King of his CyoWn, or to abinlye his subjects from their oaths of allegiance, and they made a law, that, in future, the Dept*. ties of the States General, and nil persons holding any - civil offices or ecclesiastical benefices under, the State; should take a test oath of that purport. The day after this excellent law passed in the Commons, the chamber of the clergy resounded with exclamations of " all i lost,' some wicked heretics have obtained admission into the assembly of the Commons, in order to overthrow our reli gion." In short, • the clergy- prevailed on the Court arid the assembly of the Nobles, to re -lect this 'sal u tary law, so necessary for pre. serving 'the safety, 11)e dignity, and independ ence of :the State ; and their triumph was so great, and their rancour such, that they per suaded the Court 'to iMpt iSOTI the .person. who printed it at theiristanee of the Commons. The joy of Pope Paul wits extravaeint on the oc casion, for he sent twri briefs to the Nobility and Clergy, in which be praised , " their zeal, wisdom and piety, for the warru interest which they had taken in the cause of their religion and the Holy Sec." Thereafter will find.all this detailed in the second volume of LeVassor's History at the reign of Louis XIII. Villiers, a Frenchman, in his ex . cellent ;Essiry on the Spirit and Influence of the Reformation, published in France, in the year 1802, is decidedly of opinion, that if the French Government had confirmed by law this plerlge . of illegiance and fidelity to. the State, it would, by . . c h* e kisig. the' usurped power of the Pope, have prevented the civil wars.which ensued, and which w e e .,iirointped die wanton and cruel r ersecu-' don of the Prote,stants, in direct viaation of the Edict of Nantes, and the expulsion of nearly a million of thenr, on its revocation. Villiers is also of opinion; that that salutary test law would have averted the dreadful Revolution which took place in the eighteenth century, and which, like a direct visitation of the Almighty, overturned the Throne, an►i involved in its ruin the Nobility and Clergy who . successfully,opposed its adoption. Louis XIV., desirous. of vindicating the dig. pity and independence of his kingdom rival the tyranny ,and ambition of the Pope, which had been so fatal to them, through the instrumentd lity of the Clergy, who were his spies and vasStrl4, convened an Assembly of the Clergy, in the yeas. 1682, and he required them to adopt .the ing. Decree, 6 6 that.God_has not given to Pette, or his successors, any power over the tempt-H.oi ties of Princes, nnd that he eannOt depose thern, or absolve their, subjects Prow _their oa!bs .allegiance." These doctrines were so reptig.- »ant to the views and principles of the French Ecclesiastics, that but thirty-five Bishops and a few of the interior Clergy, trembling at she rod of the Tyrant, sanctioned titesit resolutions, for which they were anathema.. tised by three successive. Popes, who withheld from the French Prelate& the Bulls necessary to sanction their functions, so that on the death of Innocent XII. a great number of them were local. pecitated, and, on the Romish prineirle, could aet officiate at the altar. The. Universities of DourtY and Louvain joined with the• Holy See in main. twitting these detestable dogmates, and so did the Sorbonne, till most of its Doctors were banished, and . the' remainder, under the influence of fear, consented to register the.
