L'ancien secrétaire, devenu pasteur, et qui met sa brochure en vente au profit de la a Société nationale pour l'éducation des pauvres conformément aux principes de FÉglise établie », raconte ce qu'il considère comme les scandales de la vie privée du vieux libre-penseur, et surtout ses facéties irréligieuses et blasphématoires. Il a gardé le début, à lui dicté, d'un discours contre l'Eglise établie : « In comparison of the corruption of which the Clérical Department is the seat, the corruption of which Lay Departments are the seats, is purity. If to obtain money on false prelences, — if to do that for which an unprotected man is regarde d as being undeservedly consigned to Botany Bay or the Hulks, is immorality — the English and Irish Clergy is composed of a set of men whose conduct is essentially and most flagrantly immoral ».

III, pp. 315-6).
