Calendar.'-Historical Address, on the Calamities occasioned by Foreign Influences, in the Nomination
of Bishops to Irish Sees. By C. O'CONOR, D. D. Part ii. p. 488.

WHOSE VENERATED FOUNDERS, AMIDST THE FLAMES OF SMITHFIELD AND

OXFORD, AND OTHER BRASEROS IN ENGLAND,

RESCUED CHRISTIANITY FROM THE GRINDING TYRANNY AND

DOCTRINAL POLLUTION OF THE

ANTI-CATHOLIC CHURCH OF ROME;

AND, BY UNSEALING THE SEALED BOOK OF LIFE, OPENED TO ALL A SAFE

WAY OF SALVATION;

THIS BIOGRAPHY

OF ONE OF THE MOST RUTHLESS, YET CONSISTENT, OF HER ENEMIES,

IS GRATEFULLY AND AFFECTIONATELY PRESENTED BY A

FAITHFUL, ALTHOUGH UNWORTHY, SON.
