VIII Intolerant
laws unexecuted
are no intolerance

1. This is tyrannys
last shift. If you
won't let us burn hang
or starve the many
at least let us have do not deprive
the comfort of seeing us of the poor consolation
him lie bound and
gagged at our feet

2. When I see a
Bishop doing all
that Alva or Torquemada
could do
in his place, and
saying gravely,
it is no wish of
mine to persecute,
I am willing to
hope he deceives
himself,
but he really does
not deceive me.

I could lend him
easier credence
were he to pull off
the mask and say.
What could do
more in our place
to crush heresy
than we have done?
Send down to the
Commons more
persecuting laws?
Already the Commons
have sent us
up bills for abolishing
the old.

Do what
Send down bills
for doing Do what
remains compleating to build
up the Protestant our Inquisition?

Already the Commons
have sent
us up bills for
pulling it down.

If in the
whole number
of our adversaries
there is a man
unhanged, unstript
or out of prison,
it is because the
dregs of mankind
do not furnish
a wretch base enough
to become
our instrument.

Let it Be it never
forgotten that in all
this is no there is
nothing of exaggeration.
Suppose
but execution on
one hand, and perseverance no
apostasy on the
other, the sufferings
above mentioned
are the plain
and necessary consequence.

Patience promises
better than vigour.

Disinterested Generosity is comparatively
a rare
quality in human
nature: fear and
selfish policy are
very ordinary ones.
the broader bases
seems the surest
ground to build
upon.

That there are
some in the highest
rank of Churchmen
that in whom generosity
and true
wisdom prevails,
I am happy to
believe: let us do
the best we can
to assist their
good wishes, and
to raise their courage.

When Mr. Frog
hung himself, it
was not for the pleasure
of hanging, but
because he was made
to believe John Bull
would cut him down
would let him off for
a short swing: in his
calculation it was
better to hang himself
and be let off
for a short swing,
than stay to be
up by somebody
else, and living till
doomsday.

Tyranny Insolence and Cowardice
are natural
companions.

If it was a Bishop
in France who first
made the direct proposition in the first digested plan
of converting applying devoting
the revenues of the
Clergy to the exigencies
of the state, we are
not to suppose that
the Clergy that the trouble
of getting in their rent
hung really heavy
upon their hands.

These revenues had
already been declared
the property of the
State, and so long
as refusal was practicable,
the reverend
body had declined refused
contributing so much
as their proportionable
share.
