DEDICATION.


_The following pages are humbly, and gratefully Dedicated, to the
    Catholic Noblemen and Gentlemen of Yorkshire, by the Catholic
    Priest at Ugthorp._

NOBLEMEN AND GENTLEMEN,

Many of you, lately appeared boldly, and manfully on the platform at
York, in defence of our holy religion. Conscious of the justice and
innocence of our cause, you feared neither the sneers, nor the insults,
nor the shouts, nor the threats of its enemies, but, like your
illustrious ancestors, shewed that you considered your religion, as your
best inheritance, and held it more dear than life itself; whilst, on the
other hand, like your illustrious ancestors, you shewed that you yielded
_to none_, in _your loyal allegiance_ to your _temporal_ sovereign, and
to the state. Now it would be ungrateful, nay even base, in us Catholic
clergymen, not to second your manly, and zealous exertions in defence of
our ancient, and holy faith. To you, therefore, I most humbly, and
gratefully dedicate the following pages. I hope you will find, that I
have not advanced in them, anything that is inconsistent with the
principles of truth, of justice, and of honour. To have acted otherwise,
would, I am sure (for I have the honour to be personally acquainted with
most of you), be most insulting to your noble, and liberal feelings, and
would only have served, to confirm the hostility of the Protestant, and
to loosen the attachment of the Catholic, to that cause, which I had
undertaken to defend.
