consulted. Now observe this commentary in the class boot
refers the student to the commentary of Maldonatus, anc
the professor of Theology returns Maldonatus as one of thi
standards of his instructions, so when we have this authori
tatively refered to Maldonatus, let us go to him and hear hi

commentary on this passage. This book that I have now
handed to my reverend brethren, and to you, Sir, is the first
volume of the commentary of Maldonatus. My reverend
brother, Mr. Nolan, will be so kind as to read this note.
Here the Rev. Mr. Nolan read a long note from Maldo-
natus, which we regret that our space compels us to cur-
tail. The following are passages from it—that heretics
ought to be put to death much rather than thieves or mur-
derers—" that the tares (heretics) were to be quietly plucked
up and burned when this could be done without injuring
the wheat (Roman Catholics)—that princes were to be
warned not to grant to heretics liberty of conscience—that

the pope is the 6t person to judge when the tares are to be
rooted out, and that princes should be ready to obey his
will when he chose to order this to be done. (The reading
of this note appeared to produces deep impression with the
meeting.)
Mr. AVGITEE: resumed.—Now, mark the doctrine of this
book: they are not to be rooted out : Protestants are not to
put to death : the slaughter is not to be commenced against
them when there is any danger that the wheat may suffer
along with t'he tares—when there is any ddnger of the faithful
being put to death. (Hear.) The heretics are not to be put to
death while it is the interest of the church it should not be
so. If there is any danger, as Bellarmine says, that they
will be stronger than we, we are to keep quiet; but, when-
ever it is the interest of the church the heretics are to be put
to death:—then the pope is he who is to command princes
to do as he pleases—then he is the one

To cry havoc—

And let slip the dogs of war. (Cheers.)
Now, the edition from which I last quoted Maldonatus, was
a folio edition which I have dated in the year 1607 ; but this
edition, of which I have now here four copies, and which I
have got from different places for the purpose of authenti-
cating the fact—this edition is not yet out of the press.
(Loud cheers.) There are but three numbers out of the first,
second, and third parts ; these are four of the first volumes :
this was purchased in Dublin.; this in Limerick ; this in
London, nay friend Mr. Crisp having been good enough to
get it yesterday; and that one was purchased by myself in
Louvaine. (Hear.) Before this book is even out of the
press, you see, then, how extensively it is diffused through-

out the British empire! (Hear, hear.) I sent to Limerick
for it because in this directory of the priests of Ireland, for
the year 1842, I found an advertisement of foreign theology
by Messrs. T. and J. O'Gorman, of No. 11, Patrick-street,
Limerick. It is printed at Mayence, in Germany, for Paris
and for Louvaine ; this book, I say, is printed in Germany,
for Germany, for France, for Belgium •, and these copies are
brought over to the British empire! (Hear.) In order to
authenticate it still more, to whom, I will ask, do you think
this ;book is dedicated? It is dedicated to M. Perrone, the
lecturer upon the course of theology at the College of Rome,
whose work upon baptism, and the admirable work upon
toleration, I have just read ! (Cheers.) Now, remember that all
these priests are sworn—they are sworn ;n their creed, which
is their oath—that they will never receive the Sacred Scrip-
tures in any sense but that which is held by the holy mother
the church—that they will neither take nor interpret them
in any sense contrary to the unanimous consent of the
fathers. (Cheers.) This is their oath ; and here is their
commentary upon the Scriptures now in the course of pub-
lication, dedicated to the man who is the Pope's lecturer at
Rome, set up as a standard of Scriptural instruction for the
priests in the College of Maynooth. I find I must trespass

a few moments longer upon you. (Lou,d cries of "Go on.")
This is another standard in the College of Maynooth ; which
also sets forth the domination of the Pope, and that very
bull I have just repeated as the authenticating bull for papal
infallibility of modern times. (Hear.) In this second vol.
of Den's Theology, in this passage, authenticated by the
bull, for the temporal power of the Pope over princes to
absolve their subjects from their allegiance, there are two
authors quoted—Beilarmine and Thomas Aquinas. Thomas
Aquinas is the book which the archbishops and bishops of
the Church of Rome, who preside o'er the College of May-
nooth, bound themselves to the Pope, at the time of the
erection of that college, to take as the standard of divinity
for the college. Thomas Aquinas is that author of whom
Den's is the compendium. Dens is the compendium of the
Secunda Secundle of Thomas Aquinas; Thomas Aquinas is
here quoted for the temporal power of the Pope. (Hear.)
Let me now read the passage from Thomas Aquinas, which
