Excerpt from The Pamphleteer, 1827, Vol. 28: Dedicated to Both Houses of Parliament

Well do I remember the warm and lasting impression in favor of religious freedom made on my boyish mind by that excellent discourse preached at Buckingham in 1807, and then published and presented to my father b its eloquent author; and happy do I esteem myself that a copy oiy it is still retained by me; and hap pier still should I be if any persuasions of mine could induce that Reverend Gentleman to republish, in times when the avowal of such sentiments comes from our clergy with peculiar grace, a sermon so full of Chrisrian unction, of social charity, and political wisdom. But I said at the beginning that in my judgment clergy men as such had nothing to do with a purely political question; I must, therefore, if I cannot refrain from quoting another passage, cite it merely as giving a faithful summary of my own Opinion, but expressed in terms admirable for their boldness, and how much more forcible than any that I could employ.
