CONCLUSION.-Ridiculousness of the Vicar's brags.

He has proved no one point he took in hand, and has

quite overlooked the object and chief contents of The

END OF RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY. His ab-

surd attempt to make up a true Catholic Church of all

the false and contradictory heresies that have ever ex-

isted. The very small number of real members of the

Established Church. Unity and Catholicity of the Great

Original Church. Impossibility of a change in her Faith.

Awful Memento!

To a Catholic Convert.

DEAR SIR-As it was not to perpetuate, but rather to terminate dissentions among Christians of different communions, by shewing them the effectual means, appointed by Christ, and employed by the Church at all times for this purpose, that the author wrote THE END OF RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY; so it is not to gain the easy triumph of refuting the Bishop of St. David's GRAND SCHISM, and the Vicar of Templebodane's REPLY to the End of Controversy, that he is now induced to vindicate his work from their cavils.
