Citation | SG(H.783.008 20 Mar 1783:21 (2/75) London. . . It is very remarkable that the Bench of Bishops have observed a perfect taciturnity on the present prospect of peace. While war was the topic, their Reverences blew the long trumpet of Moses as loudly as if they have been under the walls of Jerico--but the independence of America deprives them of a land of promise--Philadelphia is no longer considered as a new Jerusalem--no hierarchy--no episcopacy to be established there. |
