were, one and all, pointed a: as glorious signs, should
they take place, of high and noble Protestant feeling in
th.) land, as proofs of the prevalence of an unpersecuting,
a free inquiring, a tolerant gospel creed!
" Thanks to you, brave, and generous, and noble-
hearted people of England! who would not be stirred
up by those whose duty it is to teach you gentleness,
meekness, and forbearance, to support what they call a
religious cause, by irreligious means; and would not
hunt down, when bidden, your unnff.mding fellow-citi-
zlns, to the hollow cry of No Popery,' and on the
pretence of a fabled aggression.
" Thanks to you, docile and obedient children of the
Catholic faith, many of you I know by nature fervid, but
by religion mildened, who have felt indeed—who could
help it T—the indignities tnat have been cast upon your
religion, your pastors, and your highest chief, but have
borne them in the, spirit of the great Head of your
Church, in silence and unretorting forbearance. But
whatever has been said in ignorance, or in malice,
against us, or against what is most dear to us, commend
with me to the forgiveness of a merciful God ; to the
retribution of His kindness, not to the award of His jus-
tice. May He not r ender to others as they would have
done to us; but maylle shower down His kindness upon
them, in proportion as they would have dealt unkindly
in our regard. The storm is fast passing away; an hon-
est and upright people will soon see through the arts
that have been employed to deceive it, and the reaction
of generosity will soon set in. Inquiry is awakened, the
respective merits of Churches will bo tried by fair tests
and not by worldly considerations; and Truth, for
which we contend, will calmly triumph. Let your
loyalty be unimpeachable, and your faithfulness to so-
cial duties above reproach. Shut thus the mouths of
adversaries, and gain the higher good-will of your fel-
low-countrymen, who will defend in you, as for them-
selves, your constitutional rights, including full religious
liberty."
