tin i;i•tcrilici in the teign of loi)? Wk;-s it by lite

ly
Chord' " reminded King John that she bad ever
used to correct Princes that *ere disobedient to
her !" that all his subjects were released from
their allegiance, and which finally compelled the
pusillanimous Monarch ignominiously to resign his
Crown, and hold the Kingdom at a yearly rental,
as the vassal of an haughty Pope ? Was it the
Pope's Temporal Power which absolved King
Hem y 111. from Hs oath to observe the laws of
Ma'gna Chatta, and the people in after times from
'licit allegiance to Henry VIII , to Elizabeth, to
James 1., and to Charles 1. ? Was it the Romish
Temporal Power which summoned Henry VIII.
to Rome ? which overwhelmed Ireland with ruin
in the time of Cromwell ? it Lich pretended to give
authority to the Romish Bishops in Ireland, in
17'29, to restore the Popish Pretender, nod de-
stroy King George 11. and all his family ? (See
Irish Cownion. Jonrord, 4 App. 46.) Does
the Pope, by his Tempo'al Authority, declare " the
Protestant Minis! ry beret ical and invalid, Pro-
levant mattiages void,'' and their offspring
iliegi-
tintatc ? is it the ret»poral Power which, through
the medium of the Priesthood, would compel a
Papist in office to divulge the most important se-
, cseis of this Protestant State in spiritual con-
tessii-i to a sworn eoenty to tits! State In fine,
does a pleteosion to Temporal Supremacy of the
Pope forbid the Papists' entire and loyal submis-
sion to their King, and mike them indignantly
sport, his interference in the nomination of their
Bisliops ? these are merely at ty of spi-
ritual authority—exercised by a supreme spiritual
tallier for the spiritual vi di are of his chilitren.
The disavowal of such presumptuous anthOrity
ritzy lie swcere, hut as piocet ding from inditi-
duals, it is wholly unavailing—they cannot bind
the succeeding generation of Catholics to act up
to the saute professions, or to continue in the
sante heresy,- for if any considerable share of
power he in their possession, the Romish Church
will tell them it is their duty to use it for her be-
oefit—that they are no longer at liberty to act
upon any declaration contrary to her laws--she
will remind them that their promise of a non-re-
petition of the past attempts ot the Church was
for that it was opposed to acts of her
spiritual aothinity, and never haviug been re-
pealed, must be rentued for the spiritual welfare
and punishment ot the " Northern heretics,"
whose souls would other wise be damned, HMI
therefore that " being strong eitOtigh to punish
and suppress the heresy without danger to the
whole Church, the good (CAtholies) must no
longer tolerate the evil," but must deliver them,
" by public authority, either spiritual or tempo-
ral, to be chastized or executed."*, For the ex-
istence of sneh sentiments as these, 1 re; r your
Readers to the republished Rhemish Bible, whose
notes breathe undiminished enmity :,.?,,titist the
I'IIoTESTANT RELIGION )111d ESTABLISHMENT, and
sll clearly poipt out the evils v, must neces-
sarily follow upon Popish nosses,ion of power,
that I heartily wish it uere in the hands ot every
man—coorident that it would convince the most
liberal and inCrethelotis mind of the excessive
fully of again hosting Political Power in those
hands which have ever hitherto so crudiy mis-
used it.
