thanks in an impressive and interesting address, in
which he took a succinct review of the Catholic cause,
from the perfidious ♦iolation of the Articles of Lime-

lately mentioned upon the subject of his MADE. TY'S

JEsvi's mental malady, no immediate apprehensions
of danger were to be entertained.
