religious liberty, reminding one, indeed, of the Luse
religions conflicts of two estuaries ago, who., as Royalists
or Independents came to power, esels comidered they
were doing God's terries by persecuting the ether. The
controversy respelling the doe/trims propousded by
the Bishop of Salisbury (and which we, at any rake,
shall not be thought, in these remarks, to defend) bee
raged M Brldport as furiously as in any part of the
themes, and as the anniereary of Guy Fawkes' day

In the course sif Tuesday the town crier, "T' no

the manufacture of the stolen image." Of course, the
poet did not put in an appearance.
