Excerpt from A Memoir of the Political Life of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 2: With Extracts From His Writings
The Church, that universal theme of all the shallow, on which every haranguer is eloquent and endless; which every adventurer thinks himself entitled to rob, every profligate to reform, and every sciolist to treat with contumely the Church of England, (under the afl'ectation of discussing the crimes of the Church of France,) comes under this reformer's especial super vision. With respect, says he, to the subversion of the Church, it does not appear that any change in its doctrine has been attempted. In its discipline, there may be some alterations; it is probable that the National Assembly will enlarge those exemptions from the jurisdiction of Rome which it formerly enjoyed. For the rest - if to take from pampered and luxuri ous prelates a part of those sumptuous livings which were accumulated in the times of ignorance and super stition, and to provide jbr the more comfortable sub sistence of parish priests, be the subversion of a Church, millions of good men and good Christians will heartily wish, for the honour of true religion, distinct from pageantry and hypocrisy, that all such may in this man ner be speedily subverted.
