Neither would I disparage its ancient usages, nor its far more modern laws. All religions, as I know, have their peculiarities, all nations their contradictions, but I must be suffered to complain of the abuse sometimes made in our country of clerical and priestly authority.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
