Description
Excerpt from History of the Jesuits: Their Origin, Progress, Doctrines, and Designs
The hope that, if the book is fortunate enough to challenge public attention, it may be produc tive of some good. In no other epoch of historv, certainly, have the Jesuits been more dangerous and threatening for England than in the pre sent. I am no alarmist. I refuse to believe that England will relapse under the Papal yoke, and return to the darkness and ignorance of the middle ages, because some score of citizens pass over to the Romish communion; but at the same time I do believe that many bold and less reflective persons make too light of the matter, and are wrong in refusing to countenance vigor ous measures, not for religious persecution, but to check the insolence and countermine the plots of these audacious monks. It is true that there exists a great difficulty in deciding what mea.
