Protests on the Journals of the House of Peers were entered for a great variety of reasons, all of which might be resolved into one conclusive and compendious reason, the protesters thought it essential to the Protestant Church to oppress the Roman Catholics. It would be doing an injustice to those enlightened persons to withhold their names in a work of this kind. Indeed, if it were possible to have them engraved on bronze or carved on granite, and placed in a conspicuous part of the monument that commemorates "the conflagration of London by the papists;" there "Where the tall bully lifts his head, and lies" the fame of those protesters against an act of tardy justice, and of the last expiring efforts of fanaticism and intolerance, should be perpetuated. Thus stand, in the order of their signatures, the names of the Duke of Newcastle; Lords Kenyon, Howe, Malmesbury, Romney, Walsingham and Farnham, Brownlow, O'Neill; Lords Eldon, Winchilsea, Bexley, Mayo, Kinnoul, Mansfield, Sidmouth, Farnborough, Roden; Marquis of Ailesbury; Lords Romney, Lorton, Verulam, Thomond; Duke of Gordon; Lords Digby, Shaftesbury, Falmouth, Skelmersdale, Feversham, Bradford, Redesdale; Bishop of Bath and Wells; Lord Mountcashel. |
