Présentation de l'éditeur
Umagb, primate of all I nland, ttr. When about to present to the public the following Essays on the origin, doctrines, and discipline of the ancient Church of I reland, I felt irresistibly inclined to connect them in some way with the ancient See over which you preside, and to place them under the protection of the successor of St. Patrick, to whose labours we owe the blessings of the true religion, which I have been endeavouring to defend. When investigating the ancient records of our country, everything tended to inspire me with veneration for A rmagh, the centre from which the word of truth went forth to all I reland the See founded by our apostle, and the principal theatre of his labours, to which he bequeathed the fullness of his authority a See for which the blessing and prayers of its founder have secured, through the lapse of so many centuries, a succession of prelates illustrious for zeal, piety, and knowledge, and their labours in propagating and defending the faith. The praises of your predecessors, St. Celsns and St. Malachy, are known to all; who, repairing the ruins of the temple, occasioned by Danes and other northern barbarians, restored and preserved the purity, integrity, and beauty of religion.
