    CoLeripcE (Samuel Taylor)}—continued. [249] AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT SIGNED, WITH LETTER AT END. Together 4 pages, 4to. £18 18s The manuscript is headed “Poet and Friend: a dialogue occasioned by the Report of Mr. Encas M’Donnell’s Speech at the British Catholic Association, Charles Butler, Esqr. being ‘present,’ etc. The letter reads as follows :— “What a sad tirade on the Catholic question in the last Ed. Review, as if the Pope, either in cathedram, or mounted on one of his Bulls, were the object of our dread, and not rather the Romish-Irish Mamalukery, the mitred commanders of which are to the Pope what the Pacha of Egypt and the Barbary Deys are to the Grand Seignior, i.e. his sworn slaves for all commands that answer their own ends or make a part of their own plot. The time, I suppose, has long passed by, that any enlightened Protestant thinks of interpreting the Anti-Christ of an Individual, and if the true definition by a governing power in the Christion Church usurping the name and pretending the authority of Christ in systematic counter-action or subversion of all the great distinguishing objects, and ends of the Christian dispensations; then, if the Romish Papal Hierarchy, that is, the Papacy, be not Anti-Christ, why did we separate from Rome? Assuredly, we did not mean to separate from the Catholic Church! and I much question whether the doctrinal errors of the Latin Church, if they could have been decombined from the venom infused into them, and the wicked soul-blinding uses made of them by the Romish Priesthood & Monkery would of themselves, exclusive of the Priesthood, have warranted so fearful a rent.” Etc.
