Excerpt from Lectures on the Present Position of Catholics in England: Addressed to the Brothers of the Oratory; Lecture III, Fable the Basis of the Protestant View
This was the point at which I stopped last week; now I shall continue my investigation, and I shall introduce what I have to say by means of an objection.
