THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, * For JANUARY, 1801. Mr. URBAN, W Jan. 1. HILE the term Jacolin is, perhaps, too indifcriminately applied to every opponent of Adminiftra***** tion, it is much to be feared that the plots and defigns of the real Jacobins are too little attended to. If hiftory is confulted, it will be found that most of the violent revolutions in modern times have begun with the Eftablished Church; fo it was in the reign of our unfortunate Charles I.; fo it was in the beginning of the French Revolution; and I have not a fingle doubt upon my mind, but that the prefent unprecedented and cruel perfecution of the Established Clergy may be traced to the fame diabolical motive; a perfecution in which, under the colour of fuits for non-refidence, clergymen, exemplary in their attention to their parishes, and to the discharge of their duty in every refpect, in many of the cafes actually refident, have been treated as criminals, and been almoft ruined by the very fevere penalties exacted from them. Perhaps our rulers in Church and State are yet to be informed, that these perfecutions are carried on by the very fame infamous junto of Jacobins and Atheists, who were fome time ago expelled from a cel lar notorious for fedition in the vicinity of one of the inns of court. Perhaps they are yet to be informed, that circular letters have been fent round to all the principal Diffenters, and all who are deemed difaffected to the Conflitution, foliciting fubfcriptions to aid them in the glorious caufe of rooting out the Eftablished Clergy, Thefe are facts, Sir, however, which can be proved, and the letters themselves can be produced in evidence. With refpect to, the bufinefs of refidence itself, allow me to fay, Sir, that it is groffly mistaken. The act on which thefe perfecutions are founded was a Popish act, and has no reference whatever to the prefent conftitution of the Church. It was made profeffedly to prevent the revenues of the Church being spent at Romg; while the churches were left without any refident minifter, to be cafually fupplied by preaching friars. It can have no reference to a church where every parish muft have a refident minifter duly li cenfed by the bifhop; and in that cafe I beg, Sir, to know whether it is of any importance whether this minifter be called rector, vicar, or curate, except that, in ninecafes out of ten, the latter is the more acceptable, man? But, Sir, I mult go farther; I affirm that it is phyfically impoffible that every in Under the many scenes which still furtound and hang over us at the conclusion of this century, a most awful and eventful period! let us still ruft that that Providence, which has hitherto been our protection, will yet be our refuge and safety. But this may not be without our own endeavours, and under a proper confidence in that Power which is allfufficient.
