The Irish Protestant Imaginary: the Cultural Contexts for the Gothic Chapbooks Published by Bennett Dugdale, 1800–5

Abstract

What vanity and presumption! that man should suppose he can pardon the sins of others, and yet have the weight of so many on his own head! Why did he not stay in the land of superstition? — I should blush at seeing an Englishman on his knees to you, — more than I should at hearing a long catalogue of transgressions. It is more excusable to fall down before a crucifix — it might convey to the mind an idea of a great transac- tion. — But to kneel to such a man as that, is to pay adoration to the representative of folly and inconsistency — for the Romish priest is no better than his neighbours. — May the supplica- tions of mankind be ever and only addressed to that Being who is placed far above all principality and power, — and might, - dominion — and every name that is named, not only in this world, but that which is to come. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
