Lenten Pastoral Letter, signed by J Milner Vic Ap
Addresses the nature of a pamplet, and associated thinking, "Reflections addressed to the Rev J Hawkins" published in 1785 and in subsequent editions (e.g. "The Faith of Catholics" and "R. Catholic Princilples in Reference to God and the King").
"... You are fully sensible, Reverend Bretheren, that I should be deeply criminal, were I to permit such pretended Profession of Faith as the above-mentioned to be propogated in the flock committed to my care, without notice and opposition; accordingly I have (but under correction of the Holy See) two several times censured it in the manner above signified, and have required that it shoudl be torn down from the chapel walls where it might still remain, as I myself tore it down from the chapel of my present residence."
Provides further examples of anti-Catholic behaviours which ".. vilifies Popes, Saints and Martyrs..."
Final sentence: "If we are called upon for a mere test of civil allegience, no words can be devised more express for this purpose than those of the Oath we have taken: if more than civil allegience be required of us, we must sooner die that yield it."
