Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures on the Catechism of the Protestant Episcopal Church: With a Discourse on Confirmation Few prelates of the Church of England have stood higher for exalted piety, respectable talents, and extensive learning, than the excellent Archbishop Secker. Born of dissenting parents, he was designed by his friends for the ministry in their connexion, and with that view early directed his attention to Theological studies; but in their prosecution conscientious scruples arising in his mind, he was induced to decline the appointment of a pastor among the dissenters, and in 1722 received orders in the established church. His frequent and rapid preferments speak favorably of the high estimation in which he was held by the friends of that church. The Protestant Episcopal Church in this country, in her early commencement and during her many struggles for existence, is also much indebted to him for sound advice and frequent exertions for the establishment of the Episcopate. Indeed, he is said to have greatly excelled all his predecessors in pleading the cause of the Church of England in the then Colonies, and particularly in urging on the English authorities, the indispensable necessity, for the ultimate success of the Church, of their being furnished with a full supply of competent Bishops.
