Te Deum

,—a hymn of praise and thanksgiving offered up by Christians to the God of Peace, in celebration of those massacres called victories. I have studied the English people thoroughly, and I verily believe they are rapidly indeed merg­ing towards Popery; no should I be astonished to see the English church a real church militant, its Priests at the head of armies carrying the bloody banners of war into the churches, to be consecrated at a polluted altar, and an Auto-de-fe to crown the whole.
