a party whose

,osition

s recognised, to put us down is to

violate that recognition ; or

as the professors of a

special conformity with the Church's prescribed system, it is

to treat her laws with contempt. Whether your act be viewed

as an interference with practices which have an equally ad-
mitted claim with others that are tolerate&i, it is an act of
irresponsible partiality; or, as the discountenance of particu-
lars enjoined or permitted by the Prayer-Book, it is incon-
sistent with the trust imposed by the Church upon her ser-
vants, and is an exerci.e not of authority but of power,
Truth, my Lord, is not easily exhausted of its defences;
you cannot meet it at a point unarmed. Though for a mo-
ment it relax its claims to favour and assistance, yet how
shall it be denied the even-handed treatment of justice? And,
indeed, where authority or influence is, unhappily, insensible
o the demands of truth, perhaps the only opportunity of
redemption is afforded in this : that the precepts of com-
mon equity may avail to save it, in spite of itself, from
the guilt of "haply fighting against GOD." And so, they
whose poor merit has been, only not to have obstructed
the progress of a righteous cause, may yet, by a late repen-
tance, be suffered to enjoy the benefits and glories of its
triumph.—l beg to remain, your Lordship's faithful and obe-

dient servant,
