[Continued fe-oin our Paper of Saturday.]

We gave our •readers in a fOrmer number a
”eritut.o.'only of the notes which this 'authorised
v,e4.siOn of the Catholic scripture contains. Hun-
dreds more tnight he produced of a tendeney full
1140611 -to' thie -Protestant Interest, and to the
Pipit!Stant Government. The volume itselt •is a
repithlication,' or rather a rel ision, of the cde-
-I?rased: Rheitnish bible, tilos! -passages hay-
iog been altered which more particuLtly applied
to the times in which it was written. N-ow
4ti.e nno;.; iThiell we have cited fruni speak a To-
leriory plain lan:mage, our read:t-s..may_ fo, in a
mort: correct judgment of the st:ope‘and tendency
of the %yolk, after a ief view of the Character
of the'semin.;ry trnit whenCe, i
.t otiginally proem]:
ed, and oldie persons by whom it was cputrived,
and also, of the'CircuinsCances under wlfich it was
svritten. •

" The Popish priests who,.- after the death • of
Queen Mary, -fled trout Etigi:nicl to:the N,qher-
lands, and being .no longer ab!e to persecute their
Protestant countrymen at home, fulminated against
them from abroad, were assembled at DOnity,A..,D.,
J 568, by the procurement,' says Camden, of
Wm.. Allen, an Oxford man.' It ere they founded
-a college, under the patronage of the mot tal enc..
tny.of England, the bigoted Philip the Second of
Spain. About Ahout ten years afterward, they were re-
moved to theims, under the. patronage of the
Goises, .whose massacres have been recorded' in
history in letters.of blood. About this perid,
and soon after, similar foundations wtre esta-
'Visited in different parts of the Continent : at
Rome,. by Gregory •at Valladolid, St.
Omer's, Ste. Ac. by Philip 11. for the alleged pur-
pose, principally, of supplying.Popish priests to
succeed the old and decaying stock in England,
and to sow the seeds of the Roman religion =in
this country. . For this reason they were called
Senriqariesi• and the Priests who were educated in
-them were •c.alled.Seminary Priests.
" All-the authentic historians of that melancholy
period agree. in representing the doctrines moil).-
tAined in those seminaries, to be the most clan-
gerous that ever disgraced the Popish sy.stem: The
Tope's power of excommunicatiog Protestant
Trincesi .and the consequent duty of insurrection
against those Princes; the obligation of Roman.-
ists to extirpate heretics by fire am! sword the
virtues of conspiracy against Protestant Govern,
Ptents, and of the assassination,of the prost power-
ful and leading Protestants.; all such principles
'Were taught in these seminaries, and recommend-
ed by, their Doctors from the press. It fat titer
appears from history, that they who, amongst the
bigoted Doctors at Rheims, were pre-eminent in
igotry, were engaged in contriving. ;hat
,dan4
per perversion of the Sacred Scriptnres. which
is called the Rheimish Testament; and which a
Popish Titular Archbishop rum chinks fi, to sanc-
tion, and to circulate in the United Kingdom,
and, especially in that part of it where tlie
puuli-
'catio.n is particularly calculated to produce 'the
most injurious cmisequences.
Camden states, in that part of his history of
"the reign of Queen Elizabeth, which treats 'of the
:year 1554, that ,

A horrid piece of Popish malice against the Queen, then
discovered itself.' The books were circulated in which ' the
Queen's gentlewomen were exhorted to act the like
against. the Queen, as Judith had done, with applause, and
xpomendations, against Holofernes.' And that. ' the suspi-
cion lighted upon Gregory Martin as the author : that
Carter, the bookseller who procured them to be printed,
'was executed.'

• " appears from other evidence, that the.ge-
nerar suspicion entertained of (iregorii. 'Martin
being the •author of the hook exhorting to ass4s-
sinar.ion, was well founded.
_

I‘ The authentic testimonie3 concerning that
period, agree in proving the con eetness of the
following statement, by Fonlis:— -

- .
' The better to procure her (the Qtieen's) ruirr;- there
WilS a little book composed, and called a Treatise Of Schism,
-which, amongst other things, exhorted the women at Court,
to act the same against the Qneen, as Judith Irul (lone. with
commendatious, against Holofernes. The autbormft big pee-
Dicious pamphlet wits one 'Gregory Nlartiti, fortOerly of St.
John's College, Oxford. He died at Rheims in 1582.
• ' In London now (1584) lived on Carter, eldef printer fur
the Rontanists, keeping two presses at their devotion. He
gets this book commended by Alters, and prints above a limn-
sand ; for wkich he is tried, &e.' &c. eondennted and exe-
cuted. He bath the honour tti, be registered amongst their
Nati yrs' (1).
" But the
m i
following account from Speed, con-
. -
fir ed as t by other records find cir mcostatices
.of. the period it refers to, is decisive of Dr. Allen's
character. Pope
.oixtus v „ having confirmed
,the
excommunications issued ag,ainst Qocen Eliza-
beth by hi: two predecessors.
For the final dispossession of her Majesty, ordained his
'C
11-hull,: Son, Philip of Spain, commanding all her staijects,
upon pain of his Curse, to. aid and assist the gleat,"noble, anti
invincible Armada, prepared to that end, under the Duke of
Parma, and Allen'an Englishman, an eager trifinpeter of this
exploit, now pun faistly made Cardinal by tire Pope, (to strew
his Holiness's aft-al-lon to the English Ni4oti,) would not
he idle, butaiet himself on work, to -write a book ea.hortatory
the nobility of England and Ireland, to rouse them up to
the execution of the. Pope's sentence against their Sovereign,
&c. Which honk, (fraught with all iniptulency of develish
shnders against tar sacred persah,) was printed at Antwerp,
D. 1559 (1), &c.
.Don Martin Alurcon was ordained
. V•e.le General for the holy Inquisition, and accompanied the
having in his' train_ an !mucked monks and Jesuits;
and C.lrdiital Allen was appointed superintemlant of all
Ec-
elesiastical unagers throughout England, who fearing to he
overtaken with time, translated pope :.;:isius's 13,in into

Anathema, to •risi.' against the Protestant Government, in
.:order that, it mightbe the sooner published, upon the arrival
of tire S'nanish fleet. in that kingdom (a'.
"Tine fitlowieg statement respecting Dr.
