The Bishops Protest The most important
document which has yet appeared in the Ritu-
aEstie conflict, is the Declaration" issued
and signed by a majority of the bishops of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. The sum of the
Declaration is contained in the following sem
tence
And we, therefore, consider that, In this
particular national Church, any attempt to In
troduee into the public worship of Almighty
God uSages that have never been known, such
as the use of incense, and the burning of lights
in the order for the holy communion, rever-
ences TO the holy table, or to the elements there
on, such as indicate or imply that the sacrifice
of our Divine Lord and Saviour, once offer
ed, was not full, perfect, and sufficient sac
rifice oblation, and satisfaction, tor the sins OF
the whole world; the adoption of the, clerical
habits hitherto unknown, or material altera-
tons of those which have been in use since
the establishment of our Episcopate, Is an in
noyation which violates the discipline of the
Church, 'offendeth against its common order,
and hurteth the authority of the magistrate,
and woundeth the consciences of the weak
brethren.
