"Popery in the mass could not be at once
Introduced into the bosom ofthc English
Church. So violent an invasion would only
lead to as violent an election. But 1t is re-
ally amazing to observe how very large a
proportion Of the whole has already been
introduced, an is now openly defended and
inculca'ed. Let us take rapid glance at
the facts.
81. The name Of Protestant, then, lct it
he remarked, is, by the writer's 10 whom
VIC are advering, constantly and vehemently
abjurcd. This is seen in hundred places,
both in the Tracts for the Times, in the
British Magazine, and in other writings OF
the same schoo'. The English Church is
indeed admitted to be a Reformed Church;
but the more Eavourile denomination is the
Anglican Church, or Catholic Church.
"Such again, is the mischievous error
in Which the Church in her formal docu.
mcnts certainly has no share, that we are
but one among many Protestant bodies, and
that the differences between Protestants are
oflatle consequence whereas the English
Caurch, as such, is not Protestant, only
politically, that is, externally, or by SO far
as it has been made an establishment, and
subject 10 national and foreign influences.
It claims 10 be merely Reformed, lot Pro-
testant,' &c. (Ttacls for the Times. No.
II, p. 32.)
"'To hurry men down the steep descent
of utra.Pro;estantism to its uniform END !;
the denial ofthe Lord who bought them.'-
(Ibid, No. TIP. 36.)
"'The very name ofProtestantism, cold
and negative, and sceptical as it is, ought
tobe abolished among u.s. (Quar:ery Re.
view, vol. 81, p. 235.)
":That olious Protestantism, 4 am
more and more indignant at the ProtcS:an,
doctrine on the subject Of the Eucharist
Il do believe b hates the meagreness
Of Professionalism as much ds either OF us.
You seem cramped by Pro,es:anl'sm.
(Froude's Remains. vol. /. pp. 322, 39l,
4O4, 425.. ...Mr. Froude was contribution
to the Tracts for the Times, and TO the
Lyra Apos.olica and the author OF varI-
GUS papers in the British Magazine and the
British Critic. His Remains have been
published by his coadiutors, who describe
him as 'devoling himself to the promotion
of one great cause > and justify the publ
cation on tine score OF the truth and ex
treme importance of the views therein de-
veloped.)
"2. The Church of Rome is openly de.
clarcd to be an object Of reverence and o
affection. For instance -
$50 Mother Church of Rome, why ha:
thy heart
Beat so untruly to thy northern child
-(Lyra ApostoIica, p 22e)
"'To honour the Roman Church and the
Roman bishops, for example, without coun
tenancing the errors of Popery, is a perPlex
ing problem (BruisiI Critic, Jan. 1899
p. 233.)
"'But is it then a duty to forget tha
Rome was our mother, through whom WI
were born to Christ?' CTracts for TIT
Times. No. II, p. 33.)
"3. The reformation, every where bu
in England, is spoken Of as positive evil
deep misfortune To.wi,,

nent gave BIRTH British Mag. vol. tx. p

"' As to the Reformers, | think worse o
them.'-' RI ally | hate the Reformation
and the Reformers more and more. -'Th
Reformation was limb badly set-it mus
be broken again in order to be righted.

q. Scotland, al the present day, is liken
ed to Samaria, and even to Israel, whel
wholly given up TO the worship Of Baal
and Il hope is expressed, that as Elijah va
told, when he thought himself the only wor
:, shipper of Jehovah, that the Lord had man,
other hidden ones so, in Scotland, secre
work may be going on, in spite Of the appa
rent national apostacy!
"'Oh rail not at our brethren Of the North
Albeit Samaria finds her likeness there
A selfformed priesthood, and the churcl
| cast forth
To the chill mountain air.
What though their fathers sinned, ard los
the grace
Which seals the holy Apostolic line,
Christs love overhows the bounds his Proph
| cts trace
| In his revealed design.
Israel had seers ito them the word is nigh
Shall llnot that word run forth, and glad
ness give,
10 many Shunamite, in his eye
The full seven thousand live?
