But Oxford Dons alike fear truth and Jowett,
And their proceedings not a little show it.
Punch goes on to give utterance to the wishes of the obscurantists:—
Oh for a holocaust of heretics
With Jowett in one common van to mix,
For leave to burn, hang, quarter, disembowel,
Maurice and Williams, Temple, Wilson, Powell!
To teach admiring minds those Acts who follow
That Oxford toleration's wide of swallow,
As wide as from Geneva to Maynooth,
