censor of Portugal, reviewing the tract, took up these words
and went back through the act of various sovereigns in the
history of the country who had successively resisted the
papal power, and he stated that they were not Lutherans.
When be came to the Queen of Portugal, he said, " Our

et these very bulls, the first of which was

permit to be published within her empire, were published in

printer or vender of this bull was to be punished as guilty of
high treason in France, the papal bishops in Ireland could
issue it and pit it in force there. The following note was
given by Cara nal Erskine to Sir J. Hippisley relative to
this bull :—" 'The bull, which is generally named in Ccend

day, until Pope Clemont XIII., out of a compliment to some
princes to whom some parts of the said bull were obnoxious,
left off the publishing of it on the said day—this bull, al
though the formality of its publication is now omitted, is
nevertheless implicitly in vigour in all its extension, and is
likewise observed in all countries where there is no impedi-
ment to the erection of the pope's authority. Therefore it
must be legally looked upon as a public declaration to pre-
serve his rights. This bull has undergone at different times
some alterations as to the form by the several popes by
whom it was published. The paragraph above transcribed
is taken from the one published by Gregory XIII., anno
1583, 4th April. It is inserted in the Bullar ad Main-
ardi, tome 4, part 4." "The aboveis in the hand-writing
of Cardinal Erskine," says Sir J. H. Hippisley ; " I received
this note from him at Rome in the month of August, 1793 ;
he was then in the office of Prom.'jore della Fide, and in a

text quoted a letter from Dr. Murray,
__Al at a meeting of the Roman Catholic
institute of London in May last, denying the publication of
the Bzgla Ccence Domini, by the authority of the Irish bishops.
He next read an extract from a letter of his own to Dr. Mur-
ray, calling on him to meet the proofs of the fact before the
Roman Catholics of Dublin, which was not attempted ; and
then he read another letter of his own to Dr. Murray, proving
the fl!lsehood of his statements, which was received by the
meeting with loud applause. The rev. gentleman then said
that nothing was more manifest than that England was open
to the pope, and that in fact the pope was now legislating for
England. He would, therefore, call upon every man in
England to remember, if he had a vote for a member of par-
liament, that a solemn responsibility in exercising that power
rested with him, and to send as his representatives to the
commons house of parliament men who would stand up in
