MINIMIS_. -- PAUL SARPI. -- BARTRAM'S TRAVELS.
I have no doubt that the real object closest to the hearts of the leading / Irish Romanists is the destruction of the Irish Protestant church, and the / re-establishment of their own. I think more is involved in the manner than / the matter of legislating upon the civil disabilities of the members of the / church of Rome; and, for one, I should he willing to vote for a removal of / those disabilities, with two or three exceptions, upon a solemn declaration / being made legislatively in parliament, that at no time, nor under any / circumstances, could or should a branch of the Romish hierarchy, as at / present constituted, become an estate of this realm.[1]
