Quotations
The Siege of Drogheda (1736): ‘The Lives of these Friars, not only in dicing, gaming, and cursing whole Nights, but also in Drunkenness, whoring, committing of Rapes, and such other Lasciviousness, were so lewd, as is not fit for any chaste Ear to be defiled with, and yet all their Designs forsooth pretended under the Cloak of Holiness and Religion.’
