Paine's anticlerical and antimonarchical reply to the royalist Jourdan, who pleaded for the restoration of certain religious privileges for the Catholic Church. The English source text was printed in the summer of 1797. No complete copy survives. Edited in: Moncure Daniel Conway, Thomas Paine: Life and Works, vol. I, ch. VI.
