Excerpt from The Trial of the Unitarians, for a Libel on the Christian Religion

Gentlemen, It is hardly necessary for me to tell you, that the doctrines of our National Church, and more particularly that which is explained in the first article of our faith respecting the holy and undivided Trinity, is a part or parcel of the statute laws of the realm and that to attempt to turn the minds of his Majesty's subjects against the admission of them, proved true by the warrant of Scripture, or to attempt to lessen their importance, by with drawing from them their only support, the evi dence of the word of God, constitute a very serious offence With this offence, grave and awful as it is, the Defendants stand charged, and it devolves on me, as the Officer of the Crown, to bring to merited punishment those who impugn the Christian Religion.

In all Christian countries it is necessary that some form of public worship to the Creator should exist: in England it has been established by statute.
