Is this, then, a state of things which the legislature of England can
countenance or permit? and will the sound sense of the British parliament
be dazzled and blinded by the arts which have been employed to cloak the
essential ungodliness of the proposal? We trust that there will be no
hesitation or condescension in the tone of their answer. We trust that
the representatives of the nation, conscious of the account they will
have to give of the way in which they exercise their power, will
seriously and calmly weigh the consequences of the measure brought before
them, and, dismissing the illusions with which their imagination is
assailed, will consider what the effects must be of legalizing a breach
of one of God’s commandments.
