ORT DEMONSTRATION OF THE INIQUITY

POPERY.

front of the Douay Bible, published with the approbat Hughes, in the city of New York, we find this

"ADMONITION."

Scriptures, in which are contained the revealed myster ruth, are undoubtedly the most excellent of all writings: tten by men divinely inspired, and are not the word of Word of God which can save souls, 1 Thess. ii. 13, and J ut then they ought to be read, even by the learned with 'humility, and with the fear of mistaking the true sens ve done. This we learn from the Scripture itself; whe ys, that in the epistles of St. Paul, there are some t be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wre also the other Scriptures to their own perdition. 2 Pet. iii revent and remedy this abuse, and to guard against erro ged necessary to forbid the reading of the Scriptures in languages without the advice and permission of the pas itual guides whom God hath appointed to govern His chu

vledge; the learned must not read, because they ha if any are allowed the privilege, it must be with permission" of the priests. We know how pertin the charge which Protestants have preferred again is proof from their own Bible, as permitted to be op Hughes.

ne would suppose that these holy custodians of the profess such anxiety lest it be perverted to the perdi ent readers, would themselves be exceedingly caut nt fall into the same sin, or become in any way fa r flocks: most certainly, that they could not willfull edly mutilate that Word, and teach their people t es are the truth of God. Let us see:

this Douay Bible, Ex. xx. 4, 5, the second con s rendered, "Thou shalt not make to thyself a gra likeness of anything that is in heaven above; or in ch, nor of those things that are in the waters un ou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the hty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upor o the third and fourth generation of them that hate mercy unto thousands to them that love me and dments."

now turn to BUTLER'S CATECHISM, "recommended C. Archbishops of Ireland, as a general catechism." v York, by the Catholic firm who issued the Doua "Lesson 14, on the ten commandments."

2. Say the ten commandments of God.

1. 1. I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have before me, etc.

2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord th 3. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath 4. Honor thy father and thy mother.

nish priests are convicted of perpetrating an outrage u God in their general catechism, to be taught to their c rue version of it, from Exodus xx. We hazard not. hat this single act is a demonstration that nothing is ry to do, in the whole catalogue of possible sins, when se to gain. And what is it, in this instance? Cle evidence from their deluded victims, that the Bible co latry as a flagrant violation of the law of God, whic to guard, with all other Scriptures, from the errors that arise to both the ignorant and the learned, should the thout their watchful care and kind permission.
