Evidence:
From the 1806-1840 Commonplace book of an unknown reader. Under title 'Lord Eldon's speech against the appeal of the Test and Corp. Act. April 1828' is transcribed a paragraph, in full here: 'The Church of England if properly furnished within, might defy all danger from without; but if those who ought to be its pillars are to be mere weights hanging from the roof - dragging down that which it is their duty to support - it must follow the fate of the Brunswick Theatre, and in that calamity, it will be little consolation that its authors will be the first victims."'
