s t have

understood, t

Bishop has refrained from laying any posi-
tive injunctions upon the clergy in this particular, seeing that
so much inconvenience is likely to arise from the practice;
and therefore leaves them to follow their own discretion as to
the time of administering baptism, but binding them in the
most rigid and proper manner with respect to the place."—
p. 33.
__ .

Mr. Haverfield proceeds to illustrate the great inconveni-
ence of the practice in populous parishes ; but he sees no
alternative but proposing a new Rubric—to allow the per-

. .
fon-wince to be
" Administered after the service (as is not unfrequently
the practice); notice being given thereof before the congre-
gation depart, that such of them as choose might remain to
witness it."—p. 35.

In this case again we beg leave to observe, that most, if
not all, of the inconvenience arises, not from the original
Rubric, but frcm our alterations of the services. In the

first place, the Rubric directs that this rite shall be performed
in the middle of the " Morning and Evening Service"—that
is to say—according to the strict letter, not with the Litany
—not with the Altar Service—not with the Communion—not
with the Sermon, and it is when any of these are added to
the Morning or Evening Prayer, that the superaddition of
the Baptismal .office extends so inconveniently the length of
the whole service. The consequence is, that on the Sunday

laptisms have been rarely

. _
evenings they are less frequent, particularly when there is no
sermon. Now, seeing that the Rubric in its utmost strict-
ness only " admonishes" (not enjoins) that the rite shall take
place on Sundays and holy-days as " must convenient"—
and whereas it is required that timely notice of baptisms
should be given to
.the minister—it appears to us that the
Clergy are not blameable for having exercised the discretion
of performing the rite
stead of per

to be " most convenient,
o at a time when

iting in doing . by change of
A it became " most inconvenient ;" but we
agree tr. Haverfichl, that if there is to be any authorita-
tive explanation of the Rubrics. it would be desirdble to ex-
plain this Rubric so as to give the ministers a distinct discre-
tion as to the time of celebrating the baptismal rite according

.. „
to the local circumstances of the parish—the celebration,
however, to be always in open church, and preferably, with
the largest congregation that can be " conveniently" and
roluntarily assembled.

* The Church of Rome is called a Catholic Church, and
the Bishop of Rome a Catholic Bishop ; yet other Churches

than they.—Archbishop Bramhalrs Just Vindication, P.I.

t This sense is found in St. Augustin, and many other
fathers, and seems, indeed, its most common sense; see
Bishop Pearson's notes. It is in this sense that Bishop
Beveridge entitled his discourse of the Thirty-nine Articles
" Ecclesia Anglicana—Ecclesia Calholica ; or, the Doctrine
of the Church of England consonant to Scripture, Reason,
