I am enabled by an invisible power to communicate to you, a Litany sanctioned by me, and to be adopted by the professors of the patriotic religion of Ireland; a Litany which breathes the spirit of that freedom which I professed when on earth, and has been here on eternal record; if its principle and doctrine tend to enlighten and emancipate your country, it will add (if possible) to that indescribable happiness enjoyed by him, whom, without vanity, I may now call the virtuous and patriotic MIRABEAU. _Elysium, 5th Feb._ 1792. _THE LITANY._ 1st. Let there be a free, equal, and general representation of your people in Parliament. And all the people shall say amen. 2d. Let there be a reform of your church, an abolition of tithes, and let each sect maintain its own pastor. And all, &c. 3d. Let the people of my terrestrial country be an example to your people, and let their freedom be your freedom. And all, &c. 4th. Let the fetters which the nobles of your land have forged, be broken asunder; and let those who earn, distribute the bread of Ireland. And all, &c. 5th. Let each man freely worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. And all, &c. 6th. Let christians be philosophers, and let philosophers be christians. And all, &c. 7th. Let the rich few no longer be supported by taxes on the many and unrepresented poor. And all, &c. 8th. Let all the sons of Hibernia be free--yea, even as free as the negroes[D] of Africa. And all, &c. 9th. Let truth never be deemed a libel, and let the Liberty of your Press be extended. And all, &c. 10th. Let the noble (tho enlisted) sons of Ireland never become the hired assassins of their countrymen. And all, &c. 11th. Let the army which eats the bread of Ireland, be her guardian and protector, and not the base invader of her rights and liberties. And all, &c. 12th. Let him who first proposed a mortgage on the revenues of Ireland, be accursed in the annals of your country. And all, &c. 13th. Let yourselves no longer be the slaves of religion, or sect, or party, but the united sons of freedom and philosophy. And all, &c.
