Excerpt from Semper Idem, or Popery Everywhere and Always the Same: A Sermon Preached in the Parish Church, Cheltenham, on November 5th, 1851

Now to illustrate this further, by passing events, is the task which I propose to myself this day; to prove the identity of Rome antient and modern - to charge home upon her by instances of recent occurrence the principles and practices of the darkest period of her foregone history. And in this attempt I pray God that I may simply speak the truth, without exaggeration or heightened colouring. The facts which I shall adduce are for the most part public and patent to all; and I earnestly invite the attention of my Roman Catholic fellow countrymen to them - not without hope that a candid consideration of them must shake their faith in the infallibility of a Church whose practice is stained with the foulest crimes, and whose faith is disfigured by the darkest corrup tions.

And let it not be forgotten that in pursuing this painful enquiry we are now at least acting on the defensive - our Church, our religious liber ties, our hearths and homes are invaded by the agents of Popery in every shape and form - and if we be not aroused to zealous efforts, we know not how soon our implacable foes may rob us of all that is most valuable in time and in eternity.
