Letter 12
23 April 1767
NLS: MS 25295, ff. 142-143

Grosvenor Sq. 23 Apr. 1767
My Lord

You had no need of any one to strengthen you in the rectitude of your Opinion in the point in which you was alone in the Court. It was founded in the great Principles of Right which you so fully comprehend. I communicated the matter occasionally to my two dearest & Most intimate Friends, Ld Mansfield & Mr Yorke; and they both think with you & me on this point.

I own I think the paper inclosed is a frank imposture, both from the stile & matter. It is true, that before Loyola's death the Society was well established; had spread it selfe over Europe, & had met with great opposition from Schools & Universities; but this was only on acct of their teaching academic Learning, cheaper & better. It was long after that they invented their commodious casuistry for the use of the Great; into whose general confidence they had not yet insinuated themselves.

I have the honour
to be My Lord Your most faithfull & Obedient
humble Servt W. Gloucester [f.143 blank]
