To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is no power in the State to make me use it. The Act itself would be null, a mere piece of waste paper : and if all members bring forward the motions, for which they have given notice, the next Session will perhaps produce many such sheets of waste paper, printed at the 64 expense of the country. Thus Mr. Faithful, who is a Dissenter, and who is not reported to have blushed when he said, " I hate the Establishment, "* has given notice of two motions ; one, for a Bill to regulate, and rende...r more equal, the incomes of the Bishops ; the other, to do the same for the Clergy. If these Bills should in the slight- est degree affect the spiritual duties of the Bishops, Parliament, as at present constituted, has no power to pass them. Neither are the incomes of the Bishops under the control of the present Parliament, (tliough they may have been so formerly, ) unless the principle is established, that the incomes of all ministers of religion are under the control of Parliament. I wholly deny, that the Church of England has any prescriptive or exclusive right to be pillaged.
