What is A Defense of Catholic Principles in a Letter to a Protestant Clergeyman about?

A SERMON preached by a Protestant minister on a day appointed by government for humiliation and prayer, in order to avert from our beloved country the calamity of war, was the occasion of the present letter.-The professed subject of this sermon on such a day, was, or should have been, to excite his hearers to humility and contrition, and to a perfect union of hearts and exertions, during the impending storm ; but he, very likely alarmed at a much greater danger, of which nobody else but himself dreamed; alarmed I mean, and trembling for the ark of Israel, likely to be carried off by those Philistines, called Roman Catholics; or alarmed, perhaps, at the very probable danger of an intended invasion from the pope, who would, to be sure, avail himself of the confused state of the country, to assist his English friends in the conquest of it, that he might by that means, extend his jurisdiction ; or, in fine, alarmed, perhaps, lest our treach erous Catholics would take advantage of the times, and by forming a new gunpowder plot, blow up the congress hall, state houses, and all the Protes tant meeting houses of the United States.
