Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Anglican Church: The Creature and Slave of the State, Being a Refutation of Certain Puseyite of the Established Church The Oxford Divines have opened another chapter in the history of the eternal variations of their Church. In their hands, the ever-shifting drama of Protestantism is about to present a new scene. Of this fresh change "come o´er the spirit of their dream," the first intimation was given in the publication of the Tracts for the Times, - a temporizing title, that well accorded with the policy that dictated, and the shifts that were to characterize, this new attempt to bolster up the falling fortunes of a not old, and yet already superannuated, system of religion. The Church was now truly in danger; not, however, from Popery, though Popery would be sure to gain by the result, - but from her old foe, whom she engendered in her own bosom, Dissenterism. She had given the example of flinging off the yoke of authority in religion; and was it to be endured that she should set up in its stead the idol of her own puny and self-constituted authority? No. It was not in the nature of things that the men who had refused obedience to the decrees of a Church that measures its existence by the lapse of ages and the extent of Christendom, should allow themselves to be held by the placets of an insular hierarchy, that began with yesterday, and that, holding on precariously by the forbearance of the State, may be consigned to its tomb on tomorrow. In vain, accordingly, were articles framed, the aid of the secular arm called in, and statutes of recusancy and conformity multiplied without number.
