Excerpt from Testimony of St. Patrick Against the False Pretensions of Rome to Primitive Antiquity in Ireland
The occasion which gives rise to this publication is peculiar - the subject of our primitive creed has been noticed, more than once of late, in the most deliberative assembly of the British empire, and every allusion to it has been received in a manner not a little repulsive. When a nobleman of intelli gence, education, and truth, rises in his place in the British senate, and calmly makes an allegation upon a matter of the very first importance, the result of his convictions on serious inquiry and candid con sideration, one would naturally expect, that the cha racter of uncompromising truth which is generally associated with the name of English noble - the place, the most exalted platform of imperial Britain - the checks against rash assertion which exist in a frank and enlightened audience, in a vigilant and critical press, and in the powerful sanctions of a jealous law of opinion - would ensure to every such allegation the most respectful attention, if not the most solemn weighing; especially if it materially affected the momentous concerns of a part of the nation, the right government of which has always baffled the utmost skill of legislators and of minis ters. When, therefore, such an allegation is met.
