The sense of the real or fancied wrongs, which they sustain ^ and of the public distrust and suspicion implied in their legal disqualifications, necessarily tends to produce an unfavourable effect upon their social dispo- sitions, and causes their integrity to be accompanied by a portion of reserve, and a disposition to irritation, very much at variance with the general benevolence of their principles and feelings, perhaps also by an excessive attachment' to their peculiar doctrines and observa...nces, and by false conceptions of the views of those, whom they regard as their oppressors. No method would be better suited to produce perfect openness, confidence, and simplicity of temper and manners, in union with sterling honesty, than their admission to a place of academical education, patro* nized and frequented upon equal terms by themselves and by Churchmen. Let them be enabled, by the just and impartial provisions of the Government, and by their own free co-operation with discerning and like-minded members of the Established Church, to resort to a seminary, where they may be habituated to the pursuit of truth and the admiration of good- ness; where their minds may be enlarged by inter- Digitized by Google 65 course with the professors of a difFarent religion; and where, by means of all the influences of enlightened philosophy, classical eloquence, and ardent emulation, they may be imbued with public spirit and generosity of sentiment, enriched with science, and adorned with taste ; let them thus be allowed the opportunity of rising to a level with the graduates of Oxford and Cambridge in the possession of all those mental and moral endowments, by which, and not by wealth or titles, the hearts of men are touched and their conduct influenced ; let them be at length admitted to this participation in the noblest privileges of Englishmen, and they will feel their true dignity, receive their due proportion of deference and respect, and be able to stand forward on all occasions with a prevailing voice as the advocates of religious freedom.
