[A] See the Earl of Chatham's animated speech against the employment
of Indian warriors to assist in the subjugation of America.
[B] In this, as I conceive, seasonable reproof of certain "_Lords
Spiritual_" I would not be understood to involve the whole of that
reverend body. Some of them, I firmly believe, have remained at a
distance from the combat, aged and infirm, like ELI, sitting by the
wayside of Shiloh, and watching with trembling heart, lest the ark (I
will not say of GOD, but of THE CONSTITUTION) should fall in the
unhallowed conflict. Others, perhaps, have not cared to meddle in what
they may have considered a doubtful matter: but it must not be
concealed, that when TRUTH and JUSTICE are at stake, _neutrality_ is
no honourable sanctuary for the avowed servants of the TEMPLE. Let the
Bishops beware of discovering their nakedness upon the very steps of
the altar.--The eye of an enlightened people is upon them; and _with
their character for real consistent PIETY, and fidelity to sound
PROTESTANT PRINCIPLES, THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND will stand or fall_.
