THE LiirtitkOo

THE SUPREMACY OF THE POPE DISPROVED,
AND THE APOSTOLICAL ORIGIN AND
NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE OF THE
BRITISH CHURCH DEMONSTRATED.

We are glad to find that the Rev. David James has
been induced to publish, in a cheap form, the admirable

. .
speech which appeared with this title in our columns three
weeks since. The rev. gentleman has added many ad-
ditional facts to corroborate his former unanswerable
arguments, and has also gone far to establish a further

important point, viz., the Purity in doctrine of the ancient
British Church. We make the following extract from
this portion of Mr. J .mes' arguments :
"The Council of Alres—the first general council of the
Western Church—was convened by Constantine for the pur-
pose of suppressing the heresy of the Donatists. At this

list of the bishops who subteribed the articles of that council
has not been preserved. But it is asserted by Athanasius,

others. on their freedom from heresy.*
" The Council of Ariminum (modernitimini), held A.p. 359,
was also convened by the Emperor Constantius, and for the
object as the preceding. Sulpitius Severus, an ecclesi-

lates that more than .10f) bishops of the Western Church were
assembled at this council, and adds, ' Unto all of whom the
emperor had ordered provisions and apartments to be given;
but that was deemed unbecoming by the Aquitans. Gauls, and
Britons. and refusing the Imperial offer, they proposed to live
at their own expense. Three only from Britain, on account of
poverty, made use of the public gift, after they had rejected the
contribution offered by others ; deeming it more proper to
burden the exchequer than individuals.'t The emperor being
favourable to the doctrines of Arius, by undue influence forced
the bishops assembled at this council to submit to those
doctrines. But in the year 363, Athanasius and the Bishops of

Egypt, Thebes, and Liliya. met, and addressed a letter to the
Emperor Jovian. who had just come to the throne, in which
they describe Britain and other provinces in the west as stilt
adhering to the faith of the Council of Nice.* This is a "valu-
able and disinterestedtestimony to the purity and Scriptural
character of the ancient British Church."

We take the liberty of calling the attention of "A
Manchester Incumbent " to this portion of Mr. James's
statements, as he will find that, though the speaker did
not in his original statement refer to the subject, as it fell
not within the scope of his arguments (neither could it
affect them one way or the other), yet that, if called on,
he has much evidence to bring f9rward to establish as well
the purity as the independence of the ancient British
Church. Let our correspondent apply himself carefully
to the perusal of the whole subject without any uncalled-
for sneers about motives or example.
