But what shall I say of those dissenters, who have joined with the Protestant Church, in the late fury and tirade against us Catholics? Can I call _them consistent_ men? Consistent men indeed! Do not all the dissenters, the Presbyterians, Methodists, Independents, Baptists, Unitarians, and Quakers, do not all these dissenters deny, as well as we Catholics, the spiritual supremacy of the Queen? Nay, do not all these dissenters, claim _their_ spiritual rights and authority, _independent of the Queen_? Why, therefore, will you refuse the exercise of their spiritual rights, to your _Catholic_ fellow creatures? Why will you unjustly deprive _them_ of those privileges, which are the _birth-right_ of _every_ Englishman; nay, of every human creature in the world? Does not the scripture, which you so often extol, tell you, "that you ought not to do unto others, that which you do not wish others to do unto you?" What, then, are we to say of those dissenting ministers, or minister, who on one day are seen claiming the power to give spiritual ordination to others, then, shortly after, attending an Anti-Protestant Church meeting; and, lastly, see them or him, arranged by the side of the _Protestant_ Church, for the express purpose, of refusing to the _Catholic_ Church, the exercise of those spiritual rights, which they, or he, had not long before deemed it their, or his right to assume? Nay, what is still worse, he had _even_ wished to refuse them the rights of a base criminal, viz., that a charitable dissenter should not be allowed to speak, or merely ask a question, in defence of the Pope, and of the benighted papists. Really, was not _this_, a most inconsistent, "extraordinary and presumptuous movement," of this dissenting minister? Well, I can only say, if the _religious_ creed of this minister, be not _more consistent_ than his _political_ creed, I really envy him not the possession of it, and I think I cannot do better, than address him in the words of the poet: "His notions fitted things so well That, which was which, he could not tell, But oftentimes, mistook the one For t'other, as great clerks have done."
