A Letter to a Protestant Friend on the Holy Scriptures

Excerpt from A Letter to a Protestant Friend on the Holy Scriptures: Being a Continuation of the Defense of Catholic Principles

The following "Letter to a Protestant Friend," I give to the public at the request of some respectable friends, who are of opinion that it may be of benefit to other Protestants besides the one to whom it is directed. In my "Address to the Protestant Public," I have stated my reasons for not addressing the Protestant minister any more. His ungentlemanly language, together with me many falsehoods he advances in order to expose the Catholic cause to the hatred and contempt of the public, plainly shew that he is not actuated by motives of charity, and that he is blinded by passion; and of course, not open to conviction. However, truth compels me to acknowledge, that I am, nevertheless, indebted to him for affording me a considerable degree of assistance in converting Protestants to the Catholic faith. His "Vindication of the Doctrines of the Reformation," gave the finishing stroke to several of them, who after reading Catholic principles in Catholic books, were very curious to know what arguments Protestant writers could have to oppose to those principles.
