Excerpt from Speech of Lord Viscount Morpeth, on the Irish Tithe Bill, in the House of Commons, on Thursday, June 2, 1836

Lord Viscount Morpeth. - Having had but too frequent occasions to deliver my sentiments on this question, I feel that I should have little excuse, and still less temptation, for again presenting myself to the House, were it not for the desire I have to answer any objections, as well as to remove any misapprehensions, which appear to me to have arisen in the course of the debate. I do not feel myself at all constrained to enter into any controversy as to the general principle upon which this, as well as every other proposal of appropriation, rests. We make no secret of that professing principle - we avow at once that it is our intention to act upon it; and whether the burden, which it has been both graphically and rhetorically represented to entail upon us, be light or heavy, at least we make no complaint of it, and it has not yet broken our backs. It is, then, neither the arraignment of our motives nor the denunciation of our principle which I feel to affect or concern me at the present moment; I have merely to deal with the objections which have been made to the machinery and practical operation of the Bill I have had the honour to introduce to the House. I will not even suffer myself to be diverted from this track, in order to follow the Honourable Member who spoke last into the disquisition which his researches into historical lore have enabled him to make as to the antiquity of the Roman Catholic Church - a ground on which I frankly own I have always thought that church to be the least assailable. I agree with him that it is the duty of every State, as it is that of every individual, to promote the reading of the Holy Scriptures as extensively as possible by every means short of the employment of force; but I hope the Honourable Gentleman did not mean to intimate, in his catalogue of names, that Fenelon and Bossuet were not among the readers of the Bible.
