"It is impossible to urge any valid objection against Jewish Emancipation.�Even the arguments which were, at one time, opposed to the Catholics - granting, too, they were all sound - are wholly inapplicable to the Jews.�Few in number - without any object of political ambition - having no secular admixture in their religion, and eminently peaceable in their conduct - what danger can accrue from admitting them to an equality of civil rights." "When the bill was rejected by the Peers, the Bishops contended that, as a Christian State, we ought not to receive Jews into the legislature; and to this contemptible dogma their claims were sacrificed"..... ......"We would submit to have the question of the Jewish disabilities decided by the sermon on the Mount."
