ted his anathemas against every thing

should be considered as hereticks to

romed to govern kings, and ailing
behind the curtain against the liber

c^ufign the whole host of them to a
state of exile from the kingdom.—
These poisonous menders ought to be

one illinclined pried can do us fabre
mifehief than all cur enemies togeth

—when he is not one of the most virL
tuous, rely on it, he is one of the mod
wjeked of men. —The emigrants will
gain no accession of ftrtngth by the
banishment of the clergy—for priests
ate always as cowardly as they are
vindictive-— Long acc-^braed to fight
us oh the rcitteribus Rage of confeffon,
they are truely contendptable in the
