- Le bas peuple d'Irlande n'a point changé; ce n'est pas cependant manque de lois faites dans cette vue; le peuple du Canada ne changera pas plus aisément, et qui doute que dans le moment que la Nouvelle-Angleterre voudrait se séparer de la vieille, son plus victorieux argument pour déterminer le Canada à secouer aussi le joug, ne fût la plus grande liberté de la religion romaine annoncée au peuple, et le droit d'avoir autant d'évêques, d'archevêques, de cardinaux, etc., qu'il voudrait.The lower people of Ireland have not changed; it is not, however, a lack of laws made in this view; the people of Canada will not change more easily, and who doubt that in the moment that New England would want to separate from the old, its most victorious argument to determine Canada to also shake the yoke, was the greatest freedom of the Roman religion announced to the people, and the right to have as many bishops, archbishops, cardinals, etc., as he would like.C1Histoire du Canada, tome I
