He believed there wee no disposition autosg an to depreciate
Christian merit in whatever communion it might be found,
where it endeavoured to imitate the example of the
blessed Saviour. (Chien.) But it could not be found
in this Papal invasion. Ile was sorry to say that they
found an some hands, net on all, because many main-
tained to the uttermost the validity of everything that
had been done to procure the re-establiahment of the papal
hierarchy in this °ovary, end the consequent extinction of
every other kind of spirituel authority ; but on other bands
recourse was had to efforts to withdraw people's minds from
the real object of the Pope, by endeavouring to persuade
theta that nothing hostile was intended to the English
church, and Stet it was a mistake to suppose that the recent
arrangements of the papacy had refer, ace to any other power
than that of the Popo and his subjects, and that altogether
the whole country had fallen into error on this subject.
One bishop had said that the feelings excited were nothing
less than insanity—that the whole country was insane.
However that fact wan, we knew too much of their pre-
tensions, and if there was the least doubt about them, it
was well understood what their historical references meant.
The whole of their pretensions seemed founded en the mon-
strous assumption that Pius the Ninth wan the vicegerent
of the Almighty upon the earth. It was difficult to name—
he could not name—the whole extent of their orsubptions

without being firmed to repeat what he considered to be
blasphemy. that a weak fallible man should be the dealer
out of the authority of the Almighty upon earth, to those
who knew nothing of the religion of Christ but that which
the Word of God tanaht them, was, to say the least,
n yoking—it was frlghttul. In the address which the
catholic, were now making to the Queen, in defence of
the Pope's act, they said that their hope and desire was to
" render unto Cesar the things that were Cesar's, and unto
God the things that were God's." The rendering up of
spiritual obedience to the Pope was understood by them to
be described in those last awful words. As the meeting came
to the business of the day, let them consider in what particular
way the extraordinary assault which had been made would
bear upon it. This was an institution for making the
scriptures better known to the people. (Cheers.) Now,
the object of popery was, and ever would be, to prevent the
eeriptures being known to the people— (cheers)—and unfor
Innately the pages of history told us for how long a time the
people were persecuted and destroyed by the most cruel of
ail deaths for having the scriptures in their possession. It
was cot until about 200 ars after the time that Wickliffe
had translated them into English or Anglo-Saxon, or what-
ever they might call it, into the language of the people—that
the Roman catholic* undertook • translation for this coun-
try—namely, that which was called the ''Douay Version,
at Rheims. That was a translation made under the
authority of a celebrated Roman catholic cardinal; but it
was not a translation from the scriptures; it was • transla-
tion from the Latin version called the Vulgate, which a de-
cree of the Pope had declared was to be taken as the Word
of God, with all its errors, imperfections, and faults.
It was • translation of an erroneous translation.
And why? In the fiat plane because it was made un-
willingly, end they avowed so; there was a necessity for
their having recourse to that engine, for the support of their
sinking superstition, They allowed that even that version
was not le be used, except under the eye, and with the per-
mission of one of their own ministers of their religion, and
taken with his explanations Something might be said for
that. They knew it would be sold : they knew it would be
printed : fur since the invention of printiog, it was impossible
to keep the scriptures out of the hands of the people—at least
frit= those who could road. Therefore, it was necessary to
have such a Teraina as could be approved of by the papists;
St. John rid, " Repent ye; be baptised by the baptism
of repentance for forgiveness of sins.' Bow did they render
the Greek word,—which was as clear, as plain, as any
weed la that or any other language—pfergreeitre. " Repent
ye" wet undoubtedly the version is, as every one conversant
with the Greek language must say. No such thing, they say
.—Neravosies, "Do penance." It is not with teem, the
baptism of " repentance " for the remission of sins, but the
baud= of " penance " for the remission of sins ; thereby
raking a most fraudulent scheme the means of suppotting a
espeestition, by which, above all others, Popery had been
most aggrandised ; and which, if he might be allowed to use
convertible terms, had been to the Roman Catholic supersti-
tioa money—riches. (Cheers.) Let protestant" inculcate
their version of the Scriptures, translated from the original ;
there they would find nothing about penance, nothing about
that most revolting part of the papal system which was
called auricular confession. (Cheers.) The people would
there be taught to confess their sins to God. They would find
in their Scriptures nothing which would bear out the mon-
strous superstition of transubstantiation, which, let him say,
Mila so contrary to troth, to reason, and to the dictates of
mown seine, that it was the lest of the papal usurpa-
dims over the human mind that were ventured on by Rome.
It was not heard of for a long time ; it was not established
as a doctrine of the church of Rome until camparatively
resent days. He would not venture to say how rrcently, but
he really believed it was not established completely until
about 60D years ago, or a little more. They would find is
their Scriptures nothing on that other Papal doctrine of the
invocation of saints; but they were much more likely to find
the origin of it by examining certain pagan superstitions
which prevailed among the first converts to Christianity, and
whir* were derived from the polytheisms of pagan nations,
and engrafted in ignorant times on that pure religion which
taught the worship of the One Gad, the Unity in Trinity, the
Trinity In Unity. Nor would they and in the Scriptures any.
thing tojesiity that Papal institution which had decreed the
celibacy of clergymen, in glaring opposition to the positive
declaration of the holy Apache., who said that marriage was
honourable to all, and who specially and particularly enjoined
to certain orders of the Christian ministry, that" Ye shall be
husband of one wife." But now (continued the right rev.
prelate), before I conclude I must be allowed to say some-
thing about the spirit in which I fled that this very extraor-
diaary attempt of the Romish power has been received by
this country. There is, I believe, one universal determine-
ties Is all orders among us, from the Queen who site upon
her theme to the humblest pedsant in his cottage, to resist
It. (Load cheers.) Bat I wish I could say that was all.

goversasent of the country had given great and open
encouragement, almost an invitation, to what had been done,
by granting rank and precedence and every other poseible
indulgence to the Romish hierarchy. (Cheers.) I would
not mention this political point if It had not happened to
be one of those matters which all parties can talk of with-
out any idea of party feeling or bias; for it happens that the
first step towards granting precedence to Romislt archbishops
over the nobility of the country, was the work of the late
adminieration ' • while that of granting a similar distinction
to the Beulah archbishops in the colonies was the act of the
