I remember a sentence of Newman's in which he says of the Blessed Virgin that she was detained in the full company of the saints. I know what you mean now: you mean that--to be let alone yourself and not followed up--you'll cease to worry and spy upon me, won't keep me so close to you, will let me go and come. But lest I should be condemned of introducing license, while I oppose licensing, I refuse not the pains to be so much historical, as will serve to show what hath been done by ancient and famous commonwealths against this disorder, till the very time that this project of licensing crept out of the Inquisition, was catched up by our prelates, and hath caught some of our presbyters. Resting upon this sure and substantial foundation, the superstructure of beneficent local governments can be built up, and not otherwise.
