LAW INTELLIGENCE.

JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE
PRIVY COUNCIL.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of
York, the Bishop of London, the Marquis of Lans-
downe, Lord Langdale, Lord Campbell, Mr. Baron
Perko, the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, Dr. Lush-
iegton, and Mr. Pemberton Leigh.)
GGRUAM V. TILE BISHOP OF EXETER.
The argument in this case was again resumed this
morning on tho re assembling of the Council, at ten
o'clock.
Nothing can exceed the patience and attention which
every member of this high tribunal has bestowed upon
the protracted, learned, and ingenious arguments which
have been addressed to it, on the important question
involved in this case, by the counsel on both
aides. After the second or third day, slight
eight' of impatience were indicated by one or two
members of the Council at the great length the argu-
ment was likely to run to, and a hint was more than
Once thrown out to the Counsel that it would be highly
desirable if their speeches could be condensed without in-
juring their forcennd efficacy; but, apart from those mo-
mentary signs of impatience, there seems to have been an
earnest endeavour prevalent among their Lordships
from the first to give to the momentous question sub-
Witted to' their consideration and decision that sedulous
attention which it deserves at their hands.
The attendance of auditors this morning in the Coun-
cil Chamber showed that the public interest in the pro-
ceedings bad not in the slightest degree abated.
Lord CAMPBELL said that ho bad met with the terms
"prevenient grace" in a passage in Milton's Paradise
Lost. It occurred in the beginning of the eleventh book,
and whilst Mr. Badeley was arranging his papers, he
(Lord Campbell) would read the passage ho had referred
to. It was related at the end of the tenth book that
Adam and Eve had committed a sin for which they felt
the greatest remorse, and sued heaven for pardon with
emotions of the deepest contrition, and the passage in
question proceeded as fellows :
"Thus they, in lowliest plight, repentant stood
Praying; for from the Mercy. seat above
Prevenient grace descending, had removed
7 he ,tong from their hearts, and made new flesh
.Regenerate flow instead, that sighs now breathed
Unutterable, which the Spirit of prayer
Inspired, and wing'd for Heaven with speediest flight
Than loudest oratory."
Mr. BADELEY resumed his address shortly after ten
Qelock. He contended that the early Church had
Vlithout deviation held the doctrine of baptismal
regeneration. In proof of this he read voluminous
ztracts from the Fathers. He then referred to the
Articles and formularies of the Church, and enumerated
the principal persons concerned in their preparation, and
r
veal thence deduced that the doctrines entertained by
the appellant were inconsistent with the opinions of the
Se
Church on the fundamental doctrine of baptismal
?generation. It was remarkable how the tone of the
'ethers of the Church rose whilst treating the subject
of baptismal regeneration, and how eloquent their lan-
guage was in comparison with their more laboured
the
of matters of minor importance. No doubt
'he fathers were impressed with the importance and
efficacy of the sacrament of baptism, and their language
e'Pressive of the doctrine of baptismal regeneration was
,equent and dignified. The Learned Counsel proceeded
`u contend that the doctrine held by the fathers was
lettarmed by the Church at the time of the Reformation,
Itad was undoubtedly held moreover by the Church at
the present day; and in support of that position he read
ext• racts from Bingham's Ecclesiastical Antiquities,
'Yells on infant baptism, a work of Irenseus, an oration,
Phblished by Saint Gregory in the fourth century, the
*ratings of St. Augustine and St. Zeno, and Harding a
uencilia. The passages he had read from the writings
titf the early fathers showed that they, without an excel).
"oh, held that spiritual regeneration was given
b '4loenditionally to infants at baptism, and that
prevenient act of grace was necessary. The
.IPlessness and innocency of infants were deemed
Ittaicient for the due administration of the sacrament ;
1404 that was clearly and distinctly laid down in the 10th
idurne of Saint Augustine's, pe, 7, Benedictine edition.
e submitted that the structure of the formularies of
the ancient Church, passages of which he read, abun-
dantly proved that the doctrine for which he had been
,
be•
teuding had been entertained by both the Eastern
Western Cnurches, and, indeed, by the whole of
‘'hriatendocu at that time.
LUSIIINGTON asked if those formularies indicated
;at anything beyond the grace of baptism was conveyed
of baptism ? He could find nothing analogous to the
run operatum.
Mr. BADELEY said he understood that the full benefit
jai conveyed in and by baptism.
The Bishop of LONDON—lncluding the grace of God?
Mr. BADELEY said the grace of God was given by the
smete administration of the rite, in the case of infants;
et in adults, faith and repentance on their parts were
ttleeasary. Having shown what were the opinions of
e ancient Church, both in the east and west, on the
tub.
• Ject of baptismal regeneration, the Learned Counsel
ect Passages from the writings of the Venerable Bede,
br'elman'e Cencilia, the works of Bishop Wilkins, and a
lark published by John d'Bargh in the fourteenth cen
to prove that the doctrine of baptismal regeneration
t}• held by the Anglican Church contemporaneously with
eh? Eastern and Western Churches. In Cranmer's Cate-
ldtik tilers was the sermon on baptism ; and he (Mr.
t iiuteel°3):helieved that the opinions of Cranmer on the
ehdeet of baptism were sound and consistent with the
(rions of -the early Church. It was remarkable that
eth who
tiler,had altered his opinions on almost every
‘,r doctrine, had never changed his views on the sub-
tb
baptism. 'Cranmer laid it down in his Catechism,
en," Wants by baptism " were born again to the king-
-1,4,;.°1 Gc.d ;' and in his sermon on baptism he set
on" the benefits of baptism most fully, speaking of re-
ration in particular. That was the doctrine held
y den" the
ettherantner in 1548, and it was published by
x. 4 °tity at that time. It had been said that Creamer
)leilueuced in his opinion on baptism by Bucer arid
1114trer Marlyn; but that could scarcely be, for Peter
reb.tYn was a Zuinglian, who wus totally unsound on the
eptJ:et of baptism; whilst Bucer was a Lutheran, and
that Catholic doctrine. He had been told, toe,
Of the parties emploe ed in drawing up the formularies

tit,":oPeosing they were Calvinists, there was no autho-
teal, seying- that they drew up the formularies con-

vitt?: drew up; the Articles had a leaning towards Cal-

ThenLuers Luther, or Melancthon were Calvinists.
St,tre, he came down to the Articles of the

whatever the opinions might be of the indi-
