Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Perranzabuloe, the Lost Church Found: Or, the Church of England, Not a New Church, but Ancient, Apostolical, and Independent The great master of Roman eloquence informs us, that once on a time the Athenians were under great difficulty and distraction on the choice of their religion, inasmuch as the law directed that the people should worship according to the best forms of their country´s rites; in their perplexity they consulted the Pythian Oracle, and demanded what religious rites they should specially follow. The Oracle replied, "Those which were after the more ancient form of their forefathers." This answer not sufficiently satisfying their doubts, they sent a second time to the Oracle, saying, that as for the form of their forefathers it was frequently changed, that they were anxious therefore to know what form, out of the many, they ought principally to follow. The Oracle answered - "The best." From this reply the Roman orator concluded, that that must be ever reckoned the best which is the most ancient, and the nearest to God himself.
