So long as the fear
of God remains in him
every such person
being thus tormented
with the consciousness
of having incurred
the wrath of God,
beholds no relief but
in the pursuance of
their perfect wisdom
and probity, will,
corresponding pursuance
of the unfitness of
his own understanding
for the guidance of
his own conduct

Every member of that body being thus steeped to the
lips in the filth habitual perjury — with in a habit practice
by to which, as he has been taught to believe, wrath
and punishment at the hands of God, and as to his within his
own knowledge own habitual observation, contempt and punishment at the
hands of human authority human law, as well as public opinion stands annext, whither
shall he his afflicted agitated conscience fly for relief? One source of relief and an
other he sees before him: and it consists in that
abject obsequiousness to the will which is cloathed disguises itself
into a prostrate veneration for the wisdom and probity
of his reverend superiors, coupled accompanied with a correspondently
profound deep sense and of his own unworthiness — of
the utter unfitness of his own understanding for the
guidance of his own conduct.

Against self-condemnation
and
self-abhorrence his
sole resource is in
the arms of an intellectual
slavery, no
less abject than that
in which the votaries
of Catholic Priests
are by these Protestant
Priests accused
of holding their Votaries.

From the punishment
due to guilt
he beholds no refuge
but in the arms of the
authors of it.

Thus as a man's only resource against that self-
abhorrence consisting being composed of which in susceptible minds
is the result of conscious guilt being in a consists consisting in a state of blind
confidence submission abject and unresisting slavery, reposed in the authors of that very guilt
the one consequence is that a on the part and for the benefit of these
protestant priests that a tyranny of exactly the same
sort as that with the exercise of which they cease
not to reproach the priests of that Catholic church that Catholic priesthood
to whose yoke they have contrived to substituted their own.
they have so managed matters that their own has been
substituted.
