X Mv DtfAR P.ARISHIONKRf, Thoro is no question that the Book of Cdhimon Prayer, which is the inouih-pioco of the English Church/does, when, understood with straightforward English honesty, evidently contain many doctrines that, by a largo number of Protestants, are looked upon air tending to Romanism; and h^»n(5c, very naturally, those of the Clergy, who cons'cientiously endeavour to train their flocks in all the truths Ihat it teachea, are very apt to bo regarded as being them- selves, semi-papists ; and that, alas, not only by dis- senters, but by those also of their brethren who would fain explain away certain of the obvious prin- ciples of their own Church, ' It is my purpose, therefore, in a few little tracts, to offer you, my friends, some •vpjain explanations*' concerning the doctrinejkwhich arp thus misunder- stood. I shall, then, in this qine first endeavour Ui show the error of imagining that because the Church ofEvtgland holds certain great truths in common with Romet she has th^^ore any sympathy toith her uiri' hajy)y corruptions* • Toronto : H, ROWSELL.

Until b(ttwtt0rn Church, compriainij nearly tho wliolo of tho then civiliied portion of Europe, wai mm, having conm down in unbroltfn aucceiiion and unity from Apoatolic dayit amk though during t|iolall-!.- Iv rd\ ruih into iia o^^poNiio f Thus, ai «ii tfarly day in ih» P«p«l controvoN^, many Proteiianit Mtm lo hAT^^ancifd that ili« further t hay got from -iht Ch)/reh of Rome .^le n«ar«r thoy tnuit nvcaitarily to heaven t and unfortunataly they have not lack- followerti almoet intiumerable, to the preient hoiir. Hence, conttituting their own crude intorpre* tatidne^of Holy Scripture, often made in ignoranc*>, pndA paiilon, ^r prejudice, their only pide, to the di'ipiiing of thoie couniole of the Church, even in her putity, through which Chriat chiefly promiged to enlightch Uin pi«oplis little marvel is it that such pcTioni should fMll intogreviouierror.nnd in thin th(*ir unwire ■i\lf-»uf?icicricy donouncu iho«m who, wiih hiiiiible diiUuit of thciiiielve«, cleave to the teaching and practlcda of that Holy Primitive Church, which muKt nccde. bo the beit interpreter of that Sacred Vdluine which she licrielf first selected and then . handed down to ur. The Church of England mercifully CMCnped thii Puritanic bittornvss, and having no wish with Phari- saic pride unnecessarily to widen the breach be- tween herself and her erring fiister, wisely and pioUsly contented herself with putting away those things concerning the unlialloWed novelty of which the Bible and a pure Catholic antiquity left no doubt. Such were the papal supremacy,— the adoration of ihe blessed Virgin, — the wortihip of Saints, — trunsubsttttitiation, — the Henial of the cup to (he laity, — the doctrine of purgatory, with its natu- ^ral consequence, masses for the dead, — indulgen- ceaf,— works of supcrorogution, — justification by works, as opposed to faith, — extreme unction, — the celibacy of the clergy, &c., &c.. — Thus far th e great body ol Protestant Christians were agreed; but - . _tV, -." whon our Anglican Rfform«rf rcrfuMd to go btjfond Gofpol principlot «i umleritooil by ili« Primilir« Church, tho roit unlmppity pUMli««i on «rith » car- nal impatuoiity thai cut ih«ni ofl from tho .Catholic Church, Mparatod thoie who ought to haVt b«(in' chiaffiitnUi, brought diihonour u(K)n i\}0 Reformrd Church of Chriit, and hai done mora to prt vtnt tht •proad of ** Evangolical truth and Apostolic ordor*' than alt th« machination! of Romt coatd t vi f tiavf aecompliihed. Acting thuf in a spirit of holy coniorratiim, the Church of Hngland and Ireland did undoubtedly retain— ^n the sure warranty of inipiration and primitive belief — many doctrine* which artj nJio held, with more or hnn purity, by tlin (*hurcli of Rome; but which are repudiated, «o(n^kv, a portion, otheri by all, of the Protestant lectfPP home and. abroad. Thus our Prayer LJoolc teaches us to believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Visible ('hurch, — an Apostolically-descended Threo-fold Ministry, — Priestly absolution and blessing, — the real, though not corporeal or carnal presence of the Lord Jeius Christ in the Holy Communion, — ^Baptismal Uegeno- ration and Election,— Infant Baptism, — the real pos- sibility of salvation to every onu of the human race,—- and the awful possibility that Christians after "God hast vouchsafed to regenerate them — by water and the Holy Ghost, and haat given unto them forgiveness of all their sins," may fall foully, yea finally, &c., dbc. Now as a sort of dcfenco of their own unbelief in these important truths,Prote9tant dissenters, very naturally, though not very justly, us we shall see, charge the Churohwith being semi-popish. Whilo'with respect to many of our Clergy thems el v e s, candour oblig e s m e to confess, that they first endeavor to fritter away .'I J^^ ^^M \ th« plain mtaniiig of ihf ir own Pniyor Book, and ih«ii join tJi« (liiMnuri in aceuiing thoM of lltoir brvlhren who «rt moro faiihfui to lit obf loua toMhing ilmn (honiMlftt, of Wing untound in llit fttilh i And ytl, my fritndtt ovory eiiob cl«rgym«n, at bit ordination, niadi a toUmn vow b«foro Uod and Ilia Gbureli, lliat bf would toach according to th« plain grammatical ••nao of tho (look of Common Praytr.
