from olitrUding on you these opinions, the mere holding of
which has brought him into no light trouble. It is rather to
be expected that he will not preach on the subject at all; and
however lamentable it may be that so mein a portion of
Christian truth be not taught to you from the pulpit, there is
this great consolation, that it is taught most clearly, most
powerfully, most emphatically, in the baptismal offices them.

His lordship then draws attention to the words of the
Church in her 26th article, setting forth that her minis-
trations are not dependant on the soundness or unsound-
ness of her clergy administering, nor the efficacy of her
sacraments diminished, where rightly received in faith, al-
though ministered by evil men.
After recommending the perusal of a sermon, by Arch-
deacon Bartholoniew, on " the Holiness of Baptized In-

fants," a copy of which he has transmitted to every house
in the parish, his lordship concludes :

"One single word more. Mr. Gorham will soon read heft
'on and his other assembled parishioners the Morning a

Evening Prayer of the Church, and immediately afterwards,
will declare,' in the words which the wisdom of the law has
prescribed to secure a faithful adherence to the doctrine as
well as the devotion of our Prayer-book, his unfeigned assent
and consent to all and everything contained' in that book.

"You ought not willingly to believe him capable of dishonest
subterfuge which yet has been avowedly resorted to by some
persons iwrespect of his declaration—namely, that he thereby

gives his assent and consent' to the use of the book, without
pledging himself to believe and to approve as true all the doc-
trines which it teaches. You will not, I repeat, suppose him
capable of such dishonesty, unless he force the conviction upon
yen—but rather hope, as charity bids you hope, that he has
thought better of his former contradictions of those doctrines;
and that he is prepared and willing faithfully to conform his
teachihg to that teaching of the Church to which he thus pro-
claims his adherence.

" If this be so, all will gladly hail this his victory over him-
self: and you and those around you will rejoice'in having the
best security for the future soundness of his doctrine, in his
own self-wrought conviction, under God's grace, of errors that
will then be past.
' "Should it unhappily be otherwise—and should he preach
the heretical opinions which he has declared himself to hold—
you have a a plain, however painful, duty to discharge. You
must enable those who are in authority to take such steps as
the exigence of the case shall require. May God grant that
none be necessary I but may He also grant that, if necessary,
they may be taken by all who are concerned, temperately, but
firmly, in a spirit free from all alloy of human passion, in sin-
gleness of heart, seeking the honour of God and the salvation
of man !
