Excerpt from Satires and Profanities So far the law seems most clear, and the judgment quite incontestible. But leaving the strait limits of the law, and lookin at the facts in evidence, there is one part of the judgment which to the common lay mind is simply astonishing. Their most learned lord ships desire to state in the most emphatic manner that there is not before them any evidence that the appellant entertains the doctrines attributed to him by the Dean of Arches wherefore their most learned and subtle lord ships do not mean to decide that those doctrines are otherwise than inconsistent with the formularies of the Church of England. Nor, of course, do they mean to decide that those doctrines are inconsistent with those formularies. No, This is not the -su'bject for their lordships' present consideration. Indeed, If they were Ebad been] called upon to decide that [whether] t ose opinions, or any of them, could be entertained or expressed by a member of the Church, whether layman or clergyman, consistently with the law and with his remaining in communion with the Church, they would have looked u on this much greater anxiety than they now eel in its decision.
