Information has this moment been given me, that bills have been posted to-day, announcing the republication of the parodies upon which I have been tried. Permit me to assure the public, through the medium of your paper, that I am much disgusted, and may perhaps be much injured in public estimation, by this procedure; and that I have no intention of republishing those works in any other shape than in the report of my trials, which I am preparing for the press, and wherein their appearance is indespensable, as constitution the ground of the prosectuions upon which I was acquitted. I disclaim all knowledge whatever of those bills; and I desire to add, that if I did not think it necessary that a complete and accurate report of my trials should be upon record, I would not republish the parodies at all. I shall never write any work of the same tendency again; and when I come to publish that report, I shall feel it my duty most earnestly to exhort all my fellow-citizens to abstain from parodying any part of the Holy Writ, or the Service of the Church of England.2
