?here is the wides

possible separation between evangelical truth ae.d radical
insubordination. Another fundamental trinciple of evan-
gelical truth in the (natter of government is this—that
God who has ordained the pr,wer has also revealed the
law under which the power is to govern, and has com-
manded all parties, the governor and the governed,- to
take herd to Ilia law. The rower, therefore, is not abso-
lute or arbitrary, but administrative of a given law. This
at plies to all n‘tiluied authority, civil and cedes astieal.
Civil rulers, ir.fluerrer d by evangt Heal truth, would not,
could not, desire to he ahsoltre ; hecause they must desire
that the 14w of their Gcd may be known by their suliects:

thankful for the kgislative limitation of holy scripture.
Thus we distinguish between an absolute and an ad-
inistrati,e eni•copt,cy. An absolute episcopacy can
dispense with the Bible. Retetence to the Bible can only
cause embarrassment and vtaation and annoyance: and

therefore un anxious desire of such an Evise(.l.acy 'must
et er be to k, et, the Bible, as much as pos,ble, from the
members of the CI urch ; or FO to mingle it with inte-
iesttd traditions and prejudge it with convenient COM-
met is as to neutralize its testimony against their ust.r-
pat ions. He re we recognise the hierarchy of Rome. An
administrative Episcopacy cannot dispense with the Bible.
The Bible is at once the warrant and the limirtvion of its
authority ; the chat ter and the boundary of its jurisdic-
tion. It cannot but plead the one, it desires not to ex-
ceed the other; and therefore it inculcates on all the
members of the Church, diligent attention to the Bible.
Here we recognise the Church of England. It is un-
happily too title that there is a party in :he Church of
England, who in defiance of her plainest declarations,
have become the advocates of an absolute Episcopacy ;

but I trust, Sir, that tieither you nor 1, nor the Church
Nlist.ionary Society, in any branch of its adminihttat on,

Scriptural claim. We are Episcopalians, conscientiously
and heartily so; but our Bishops are Bishops, with and
below the Bible; and not I ishops without or above the
Bible. This is the pure principle of the Evangelical
truth, in the natter of government, on which the Church
M:ssionary Society has ever acted. Deferring with un-
feigned satisfaction to the Episcopal office; rejoicing in
the order, sobriety. and stability secured by its dignified
decisions, and executive efficiency ; anxious in every
