"In order to prevent such evils, it may be necessary to provide--
"Some restrictions upon the _introduction_ and _circulation_ of _Papal Bulls_ in this island.
"To prohibit the _assumption of Episcopal titles_ conferred by Rome, and deriving the name from _any place in_ this country.
"It may also be desirable to forbid the _existence of monastic institutions_, strictly so called.
"Nor can the residence of any _Jesuits_ appear otherwise than injurious among Scotch and English Protestants. This Order is well known to have shown itself so dangerous, that it was suppressed by Clement XIV., 1773, with the approbation of all wise and good men. What species or amount of merit may have brought them again into favour with Rome, I profess myself unable to determine. But I am sure you will agree with me that a body of men, whose principles and conduct have been so justly reprobated in (Roman) Catholic countries, cannot be looked upon as desirable neighbours among Protestants like ourselves.
"To some such measures as I have thus pointed out, it may in all probability _be found necessary to resort_; and they may not improperly be _referred to in petitions_ presented to Parliament in the ensuing Session."
Of course it would be essential that, in the exclusion of Bulls, all documents asserting any similar authority over the Popish subjects of the realm, as "Apostolical Letters," "Rescript Ordinances," and, in short, every paper claiming a public right by the Pope to govern the Papists in England or Ireland, and in any portion of the British empire, should be distinctly comprehended. We must not suffer ourselves to be cheated by names. Similarly, it will not be enough to put down convents and monasteries, so called, but _every_ institution in which Popish vows are taken, binding the rash and unfortunate people who take them, for life. Here, too, we must not be cheated by names. Similarly, we must put down not merely Jesuits, so called, but every Order of foreign monk-ism, let it hide itself under what name it will. Rome is all _artifice_, and we may be well assured that, whether under the name of Oratorians, or Preachers, or Brethren of the Spirit, the craft of Jesuitry will be exercised to make its way into England, and keep its footing here.
