 Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed 
 beginning with the front cover and ending on 
 the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All 
 other original copies are filmed beginning on the 
 first page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, and ending on the last page with a printed 
 or illustrated impression. 
 
 Les exemplaires originaux dont la couverture en 
 papier est imprim^e sont film6s en commengant

 TINUED "), or the symbol V (meaning "END '), 
 whichever applies. 
 
 Un des symboles suivants apparaitra sur la 
 dernidre image de chaque microfiche, selon le

 symbole V signifie "FIN". 
 
 Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at 
 different reduction ratios. Those too large to be 
 entirely included in one exposure are filmed 
 beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to 
 right and top to bottom, as many frames as 
 required. The following diagrams illustrate the 
 method: 
 
 Les cartes, planches, tableaux, etc., peuvent dtre 
 film6s S des taux de reduction diffdrents. 
 Lorsque le document est trop grand pour etre 
 reproduit en un seul clich6, il est film6 d partir 
 de Tangle sup^rieur gauche, de gauche d droite, 
 et de haut en bas, en prenant le nombre 
 d'images n^cessaire. Les diagrammes suivants

 our handu, and certain peculiar diificulti(_'S of a local nature 
 which attach to the same. 
 
 We desire, therefore, in tlu; lirst i)lace, to record our thank- 
 fulness that we hav( heeti so periiutted to assemble, and our 
 sense of the I'esponsihility lyinif upon us before God and the

 Kingdom of his Son, to seek the salvation of .imnh.-rtal souls,

 [)atiently to encounter, and, while they may lie appointed to 
 continue, patiently to endure, but for ^\hieh, nevertheless, it is 
 our duty to seek all lawful remedy, if such remedy is to be 
 found. 
 
 We have thei'efore prepared the stiiteineiit which follows, 
 of our views in relation to these subjects of our care and 
 solicitude; and we desire to commend it to the favoi-able con- 
 -^ideration of our Metiopt)litan, his (h'ace the Lord Archbishop 
 of Canterbury, in the ho})!' that he may br iii';\td to assist us 
 in obtaining relief from those evils of which we have to com-

 late the course of instruction ; that thei-i' he no contradiction
