He pleads total ignorance of it , and assures the Prelate that he is misinformed . What advantage , he asks , could unbelievers find in an Unitatarian profession ? We have no civil dignities , we have no ecclesiastical preferments to bestow . The world is not with us , nor the world's law , —His Lordship is reminded , that by looking nearer at home , he would stand a better chance of finding the remains of the infidel corps . The deserter of religion commonly finds it convenient to call himself a member of the Established Church .
