Mr. Moncrieff, M.P., and Bishop Coleus°.

Mr. Moncrieff has at length replied to Bishop
Colenso's letter of May 10. He says :—" It is no
question as to verbal or plenary inspiration which
separates us. You disclaim the popular traditional
sense of the term inspiration. The meaning you do
attribute to it, if it be not equally applicable to anY
author who inculcates truth or holiness or virtue, I
have not been able to gather from your expres-
sions. I cannot, therefore, admit that I did your
lordship anything but justice in the representation
I made of your views ; and I have no doubt that the
public accepted that representation in the 011
sense in which it was made. On the infallibility of
Scripture I say nothing, because here, as on the
question of inspiration, your language is entirely
ambiguous. You may either mean that parts of
it
are fallible, or that no part of it is infallible ; that it
is not all reliable, or that it is wholly unreliable. 11
your opinion is expressed by the first of these alter-
natives, it would be desirable to know with preel'
sion what parts of it you regard as infallible
and reliable. If by the second, any ur'
ther dispute would seem to be superfluous. The
second ground of complaint is, that I said that your
lordship's doubts are strange to be entertained hi
a bishop of the Church of England. Excuse me for
still thinking that they are so, and entertaining and
expressing that opinion without implying any per'
sonal discourtesy. If the views your lordship b3f/
published are the teaching of the Church of Eng-
land—l speak of her teaching, not of her law, or
her want of law—if the Church of England teach,
her people that the Pentateuch is partly a myth an°
partly a forgery, positively false in most respec
and possibly false in all, I was wrong. But
these books are read in the hearing of the cougre;
gation as the Word of God, in order that th
people may accept what they contain as revePea
by God himself ; and if in the very Articles of th/
Church they are, with the rest of the canon, refero;
to repeatedly as the only infallible standard, I ra°o
be allowed to think it strange that a bishop of t 11,4
Church should teach his flock that this standard 1_
mainly false in itself, and its supposed inspiration;
delusion and a dream. lam sorry, therefore, not
be able to give the retractation which your WO'
has done me the honour to ask for."
