Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Notes of the Church, as Laid Down by Cardinal Bellarmine: Examined and Confuted, in a Series of Tracts In one of those convincing, truly protestant, and logical masterpieces of eloquent reasoning, with which the intellectual public, not alone of Great Britain, but of the civilized world, is every day instructed - the leading article of The Times newspaper, on the 24th of last January - the following sentiments were expressed: - "From the swarms of the unsuspected emissaries of popery now in this kingdom - wearing all sorts of disguises - worming themselves into every social circle - conducting or suborning the liberal press - commanding access to families as teachers of French, Italian, German, painting, dancing, and music - many of them instilling their diluted poison as literary redacteurs, compilers of school-books, and penny magazine writers - and all of them working indefatigably, not only in disseminating a muffled Romanism, by means of tracts, historical perversions, and romantic tales, but in decoying the thoughtless and inexperienced to attend the imposing sensualities of popish worship - our persuasion, our strong persuasion is, that unless this abominable confederacy be seasonably defeated, all the highest hopes and energies of our country must eventually be trampled to the dust by the cloven hoof of Rome. It will not do to tell us that our apprehensions are merely visionary. Too well do we know the contrary... And, accordingly, being thoroughly assured that this vile conspiracy against the religion, liberties, and property of England need only to be known in order to be defeated, we take every opportunity of unmasking these diabolical intrigues, and of placing before our country the evidences of its impending danger.
