{ fiat t rely on the 8 < ran ( ftie 8 S of our faith ^ K > u this argmnentffby which that faith has been supported in all former times *~ and upon the power by ; which I kaow it can be supported in . the preseut . I was brought up in the reverence of the doctrines of that church ; and ia the opinion , that no roan- of an enllgh teued
understanding could attentively consider them without being fully convinced . of their troth and their purity . In that faith I w ^ is brcroghtf up ; to that faitft , from conviction * I adhere ; and I cannot suffer myself to indulge the slightest fear that , even : ! supposing the Catholics and the Protestants to be placed under the same eircumstaocesy there ? mould be the
slightest fear of the Catholic undermining or affectiug the religiou of the Pro * testants . 1 appeal to the Tight reverend body I see before me as a proof of the truth of this assertion ; tutrd I appeal to the character of the clergy , with many of whom I aux intimately connected , and to many of whom I owe great obligations * as a security for the integrity of the Protestant religiou . . • .. * I know

It admits of nothing new in argument or illustration ; nor can I plead any thing but the vastnes 9 of the stake as ao apology for intruding myseif so . long upon your Lordships' attention . We are called upon by every thing that is valuable to us as men , and sacred to us as Christians , to carry forward this great measure for the maintenance and the
security of civil and religious liberty 5 and I conjure you , at this the last hour , not to waste your time in trifling * , or bestow grudgingly and with a bad grace , but to do yoar work manfully , and to give liv berally as well as quickly . Millions are looking to your Lordships' deeisiou with hope aud with fear . The peace and the prosperity , perhaps the safety , of the
empire ts in your hands : let me conjure you to adopt that course whi <* h the wisest and the mo * t upright of our senators have advocated ; and if 1 couid hope that my name would be ever associated with theirs , even though the last and the lowest in the accomplishment of this great object , I should look upon all other honours as trifling in the comparison .

The Earl of Falmouth opposed the Bill . " Where were the securities ? Did their Lordships ever behold a Bill , after bo much promide * with go few securities , so naked , mo devoid of every thing in the ahape of aecurifcy ? It kept quite dear , he might say tfacrilerioasiy ao , > of evecy
