The father concluded by scouting the notion that
Rome, however willing and anxious to establish its
inquisitorial authority here, could ever modify or abate
the horror felt by ail classes for her bloody tribunal
and herself, es identified with its atroci!ies. The
people of England and its intelligent middle classes
had not furnished renegades to that degraded church;
the tee mot:ern proselytes won over to her seductime
were dreamy visionaries from Oxford, or fastiouabie
wculd-be notorieties, desirous of the empty eminence
' which such singularity confers. We hear of them at
Homan balls, caie:sed and feted by a wornout, a
brainless, as well as heartless Lobility, the bLze of
whose diarronds recorded in the 'line's is but the
phosphorescent play that ac,ompanies and encircles a
masa of putridity. To inch companionship let them
abandon themselves, and rid this happy country of
their future faccum. But let England hug the closer
to her bosom the Chrnrianity she is blessed with, nor
caching° it for the soul-debasirg ay totem of which
inquisitions are the abominable offspring. While
such and kindred abuser are still made part and par-
cel of papal theology and papal placiee, to keep
aloof from the contagious contact of such a church is
the obvious duty of the slueere believer in Christ's
gospel.
Frequently interrupted by applause, the reverend
