It is as follcws recollect that a Roman Catholic gentleman once attacked me on ot.ey to say takit g this ground : he charged me a coat-s, and instead of this, performing for i s services, uld have thought heretical. 1 met said 1, "you charge me what the donors his oi - jectitm tt hat )ouNelf riot very elderly iii appe rinv history, you would fee Th.ugh le char Ciei, sir ty about 1,400 years of age." My fiend started at this in formation. "Be not surpris d, sir," said I, " 1'I;11 shall hear my story. I was ordained by St. Patrick shortly after his arrival in this country, and r.rr ached the very same doctrines that I do at present. Things went on very pleasantly w ith me for about 7LO years, at which time the English, at the instiption of the Pope, invaded this our 'naive land ; th, y did all they could to educe me from that simple faith which I bad learned from the great apostle of Ireland ; and, alas! with too' much success ! My mind b . :came corrupted by the EU.. t:etstitions of Popery, and at last 11)i-came quite a bigot in that time; and in those days of my darkness, I riot only myself had a zeal which was not according to know ledge, but I thought I was doing G. d service, when I snccerdtd in persuading the people to devote almost all their substance to the maintenance of those idolatries through which 1 was bewitched. In the reign of Richard 11. I was appointed chaplain of St. IC:cholas Within, and I took great pains to induct the. parishioner's to make a handsome provision for my old age, which, persuaded as they wire of the importance of my Popish principles, they realty did. I e joyed the provision which they made for me, blindly practising the errors which I was imbued with, for above 100 years, until the perod of the Reforma tion. Then, for the first time, I began to perceive the de lusions of which I had been the' victim—that I had alto gether departed from the faith of St. Patrick, and not only gone wrong myself, but had been a blind leaderof the blind. lloyrever my eyes were now opened, and when they were, I did not reign ray chaplaincy. nor did I give tip the pro vision which I had raised for it in the days o' dark ness.
