who are fighting on the foundations and for the foundations
—the assailants or the assailed ? I 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 clerical 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-
querorsthe
e had their victories inscribed on perennial pillars, so
are
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
i
tone and wordng, 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 its elastic pliancy—and as it went
on to inculcate eternal
