essential elements of my profession as a member, however
unworthy, of the Catholic Church of England,—a profession
I shall never be ashamed to glory in, whether before an assem-
blage of five or of 50,000. So, leaving controvertible points
alone, I pass to matters of fact.
My first fact is, that, during the present year, certain
prnt.o.nt lectures" were got up in this town. I did not

Management qt our association uaa ; auu was
my painful lot to hear, horn reading-desk and pulpit, an-
nouncements that these lectures were also intended to oppose
what was sweepingly termed " the semi-Romanism that had
appeared in our own church." I have heard Mr. Newman,
of Oxford, denounced by name, before a congregation of
2,000, as an ignoramus in the gospel ; and ever and anon in-
jurious reflections passed upon that noble band of learned
rid laborious sons of our church, of whom Dr. Pusey pro-
ces Mr. Newman to be " the master-mind." Mr.
v ewman and his friends—and Dr. Hook and such like inde-
:atigable garret-and-cellar visiting parish priests—need no
praise of mine. The leading bishops of our church have, in
the main, sided with them and against their opponents.
Still, unfounded aspersions cast on the former, must more
or less asperse and wound all who think with them ; or think
with them in some things only, like myself.
My second fact is that some of these clerical lecturers,

the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com-

each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time
in all climates.

~me of its offshoots) have not only strongly assailed these
nious and learned clergymen, as if traitors to our church,
in assailing them, they have assailed the funda-
mental principles of our church ; amongst others, that in-
valuable corrective, deference to ancient catholic interpreta-
tion, in preference to the thousand and one theories and
fancies of modern theologizers [see Jeremiah vi. 16.] I ask,
who are fighting on the foundations and for the foundations
—the assailants or the assailed? 1 quote from an impartial
churchman, gone to his rest, who wrote before the Oxford
controversy began. Bishop Jebb, "on the peculiar cha-
racter of our Church," remarks—" In the Preface to the
Common Prayer concerning the services of the church," we
are directed' to search out, by the ancient fathers, for the
original and ground of divine service;" and in the same pre-
face, " the godly and decent order of the ancient fathers
is referred to as the standard of our worship." The Bishop
also cites the well-known and yet standing canon of our
church, passed by our reformers in full provincial synod,
1571. which canon reads thus :—" Let preachers above all
things be careful that they never teach aught in a sermon to
be religiously held and believed by the people, except that
which is agreeable to the doctrine of the Old and New Tes-
tament, and which the catholic fathers and ancient bishops
have collected from that very doctrine." Again, in strict
observance of this pole-star of catholic principle, our church
teaches all her members to " pray for the good estate of the
catholic church"—(not the Roman Catholic peculiarly)—and
to profess belief in the creeds in that article of settlement—
" I believe in * * the holy catholic church."
Hence, that for which some of these cltrical lecturers have
been vilifying learned and pious clergymen, because labouring
to revive—Catholic teaching—actually forms part and parcel
of that very Prayer Book to which these lecturers, equally
with their opponents, have subscribed their " unfeigned
assent and consent." To all unlearned laymen like myself,
our incomparable Prayer Book is " the voice of the church."
Our Saviour bids us " hear the church." His apostle, St.
Paul, testifies that " the church of the living .God is the
pillar and the ground of truth." As Trajan and other con-
querors had their victories inscribed on perennial pillars, so
are the true interpretations of eternal truths, which Christian
people are to believe, inscribed, as it were, on this pillar—
the visible church. Hence, as our " report," both in its
tone and wording, was in perfect keeping with past parricidal
proceedings; as it spoke of ourselves as " the church of
Christ,"—a
phrase so ambiguous that sectaries of every grade
and shade shelter beneath Is elastic pliancy—and as it went
on to inculcate
_eternal enmity " between the Church of
Christ and the Church of Rome,"—(as if we ought not to
pray and long for what our Saviour
be one in Him," and to prayed for, that all might
abominations and be a pray that Rome may put away her
comprehensive bond of L olnked with ourselves in one
Christian brotherhood—if ever, and
only /fit may be granted us from above as all these ex-
tremes were embodied in the report I felt bound to object

worked in a sister island, on the basis of Dens Theology.
I honour highly these truth-loving arkd fearless Protestant

Exeter-hall fanatics' ; but, nevertheless, whenever any of
their phalanx raise a groundless cry against their brother
clergymen who cleave with affectionate veneration to our
