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

as an interference with practices which have an equally ad-

irresponsible partiality; or, as the discountenance of particu-
lars enjoined or permitted by the Prayer-Book, it is incon-

o the demands of truth, perhaps the only opportunity of
redemption is afforded in this : that the precepts of com-

the guilt of "haply fighting against GOD." And so, they
