Excerpt from The Case of the Established Church of Ireland This makes a most important difference. I grant, that if the Ecclesiastical persons alone were concerned, it might be very reasonable to say, - These men have no right or title to the incomes which they enjoy beyond their own lives; and provided the same amount is secured to them for that time, they suffer no injury or injustice, if a different appropriation of their incomes is made, when they are taken away. But this is putting out of sight the important fact that they are not the Church, but a part, and a small part of it.
