Fourth: II is not only opposed to the Reformation
ana Protestantism, but II is opposed 20 the faith,
hone and charity of the Gospel. Never was any
triumph complete than that OF the open conflict
of Protestants sgainst tho Pope and prlesscrait.

truth, had faith in Christian love and charity and IN

of our moral example. The Pope himself would soon
be obliged, by our moral suasion to yield to Prot
estans in Catholic countries their privileges OF wor
ship ana their rites of burial. But no, the PROPOSE
ton now is to fight the devil with FIRE, and to pro-
scribe and exclude because they prescribe aud ex-
cude. And they take up tue weapons OF fopery,
without knowing how to WELD them nall so
ouLninely az the Catholics do, The PoDsh priests
are rejoiced to them giving countenance to their
example and expect TO make capital, and will make
capital OF this step backward from the progress
of the Reformation. Professionalism has lost nothing
