Excerpt from A Vindication of the End of Religious Controversy: From the Exceptions of the Right Rev. Dr. Thomas Burgess, Bishop of St. David's, and the Rev. Richard Grier, A. M., Vicar of Templebodane, and Chaplain to Earl Talbot, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; In Letters to a Catholic Convert 1 This is frequently manifested at the death-bed scene of apos tate Catholics. No person who renounced his religion, was less suspected of being influenced by worldly motives than the last Lord who died at Brussels; yet, when he found himself on his death-bed, he never ceased conjuring his friends, his family, and his servants, to make it known, that the change of religion he had made, proceeded from libertini'sm of principle and libertinism of practice. Since The End of Controversy was published, another Right Hon. Personage, Lord Dunsany, has returned to the Catholic communion previously to his dissolution; and if a late Duke did not go that whole length, at least he did not die a member of the Church to which he conformed.
