"Dear Colonel M oorsom,—Pray convey to the gentlemen
who have signed the address you have been kind enough to
forward to me my sincere acknowledgments. lam certain
that Colonel Lindsay and my staff will feel equally gratified,
I will not disguise from you that, in consequence of the
course taken in some quarters, aad by a particular paper,'
I awaited the result with some anxiety (be assured from no
want of confidence in the volunteers), lest any of the acci-
dents which all experiments are open to might have given
occasion of triumph to our opponents. While, therefore,
you and those you represent are good enough to express
your thanks to myself, Colonel Lindsay, and the staff. I
cannot but feel that it is we who ought to feel grateful for
the admirable manner in which those in whom we felt we
might confide brought us through the ordeal.-
" I need hardly say how much this support has confirmed
the attachment I have felt from the commencement for the
volunteer body.—Believe me, dear Colonel Moorsom, truly
yours, (Signed) " RANELARH.

mated to him by a large body of his clergy :
" At a season when some of our brethren in the
ministry have been engaged, to our great sorrow
and surprise, in a work calculated to undermine
the foundations of the Christian faith, it is a great
satisfaction to me to receive the assurance of your
unabated attachment to the doctrine and discipline
of our Church, and the renewal of your promise to
endeavour to banish all erroneous and strange doc-
trines contrary to God's Holy Word. That your
moral sense should have been shocked at such a
spectacle as the attempt to disseminate principles
subversive of our belief in the Divine origin of
Christianity and the inspiration of the Bible, by
those who hold places of trust and influence in the
Church of England, is most natural, and in these,
your feelings, I entirely participate. You will not
wonder, then, that when I discovered in the volume
of Essays and Reviews arguments which were wont
to be the weapons of the avowed adversaries of our
religion used, and their use countenanced by clergy-
men of our Church, when I read the denial of the in-
spiration of Holy. Scripture, of the credibility of
the miracles, and of the existence of the prophecies
of the Messiah's coming, in its pages ; when I met
with the declaration that the Bible is to be sub-
jected to each man's reason and conscience as its
supreme interpreter, so that it can no longer be the
rule of faith and the guide of conscience; and lastly,
when I found in it a fresh claim of right to sign the
Articles and assent to the Liturgy under a non-
natural interpretation of them, I should have consi-
dered silence culpable, and have felt it my boun-
den duty to concur in the declaration lately signed
by the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of
England, for which you tender me your united
thanks. That the common sense and common
honesty of the people of England will also condemn
such conduct on the part of ministers of our church,
I entertain no doubt, and I feel equally confident
that before long the several articles in that
volume will meet with their due refutation,
especially as there are so very few of the arguments
adverse to the truths of the Bible and the doctrines
it contains which have not, long since, received
their full answer. I trust that it will please our
Heavenly Father to overrule for good this unex-
pected assault upon the truths of revelation, and
such will certainly be its issue as regards ourselves
if it lead each of us once more to prove the founda-
tions on which our faith rests, and to cleave with
firmer hold than ever to the substance of our belief ;
if it urge us to preach the doctrines of the everlast-
ing Gospel with increased fervour and devotion, for
the sake of that adorable Saviour, on whom this
volume would leave the stigma of claiming to have
worked miracles which He never wrought, and of
being the subject of prophecies which never,foretold
His advent."
