Hided, iii. Cardinal delivered an address on
the changes winch ia thirty yens have taken
place in ihe toleration shown by Protestants
toward Catholics rn England, Thirty years
ni.'", Catholics had become v, is unpopular,
in- sold, through the whole country, owing i?>
a general fancy thal "in some way or otln r,
