The Prose Works of William Wordsworth

PART III
345/791

There is another point might be insisted upon more expressly than you have done--the danger, not to say the absurdity, of Roman Catholic legislation for the property of a _Protestant_ church, so inadequately _represented in Parliament_ as ours is.

The Convocation is gone; clergymen are excluded from the House of Commons; and the Bishops are at the beck of Ministers.

I boldly ask what real property of the country is so inadequately represented: it is a mere mockery.
Most affectionately yours, W.W.[91] [90] This alludes to Dr.Wordsworth's second publication, entitled 'King Charles the First the Author of _Icon Basilike_.' London, 1828.
