HIGH NALII TIIE PRINCE RE•CiIINT.
I .have seen in different public print% the Address
nt the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireland to his
tovsl Highness the Prince Regent, in which they
his interference to procine forthem and
their flocks wiiat is conimonly, but inproperly.
called Emancipation. In this they submit to
his
ItoYal 11l ness, " that no portion of' his Ma-
3cstv's.F.abjects is or has, at any time, beef). more
eminently di3tiognished for pure, conscientious,
hod distiognislied royalty, than
.the rtornl,,
' tholic Prelates of Ireland." Were this position
true, they would be guilty'nf gross perjury, be-
' cause it would be a direct violation ot those oaths
%Odell they toolc. first as ricsts, and afterwards
ns bishops of the Romish church. A popish
priest sweers thus by his canonical oath, " To
the Roman' Pontiff,
.Suecessor of Saint Peter,
'Prince of the Apostles, and Vicar of lest;s-CottisT,
protnisi: and swear true obedience." "Ali
thietrines, delivered, defined and ,declared by the
oacred canons and .the., general councils, and ewe-
, cirtlly by the most holy council of Trent
.(which
confirms and sanctions all the preceding ones),

and whatever is contrary thereto, and all •hyresies

tnatize." fk 1 will be careful. that they are held
by, taught, and preached to; my parlibioncrs, or
those the care of whom shall belong to me in my
functions." I shall now give some extracts from
those sacred canons, which a popish priest is
bound by oath to infuse into his flock. When
lope (Yregeiry VII. the founder of popery, in the
year 1073, dethroned his liege sovereign, the
Emperor Henry IV , he fese its accomplishment,
Ssined Ore following blespbetnotts nether:la, which

Lim n a king." Greg. lib. v. epist. 24. also
bad it decreed in a &lona, beld'at Rome, " tirat

..to excoottromicate'per-
.
`aons, either by duty or ,y oath, were absolved
from tick- fidelity and every tie of obedience."

Pope Gregory

tiny; and his decree is. iuserted in the body of
