Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Consequences of Neglecting to Give the Prayer Book With the Bible: Interspersed With Remarks on Some Late Speeches at Cambridge, and Other Important Matter Relative to the British and Foreign Bible Society Whoever objects to the British and Foreign Bible Society is invariably asked, Where is the harm of giving away a Bible? I will answer therefore by saying, None whatever. On the contrary, the more widely the Scriptures are disseminated, the greater in all respects must be the good produced. Having answered this question, and, as I hope, to the satisfaction of every member in the Society, I beg leave to ask in my turn; Where is the harm of giving away a Prayer Book? Of course I propose this question only to those members of the Society, who are also members of the Church. For I have explicitly declared, both in the Sermon at St, Paul´s, and in the Address to the Senate, that I have no desire to interfere, either with the religious opinions, or the religious conduct of the Dissenters. An attempt to impose the Liturgy on men, who from principle reject it, would be a violation of that religious liberty, which I sincerely hope will ever be maintained in this country. I neither expect therefore, nor desire, unless it is their own voluntary act, that Dissenters should either give or receive our Book of Common Prayer. I am addressing myself to Churchmen in their intercourse with Churchmen, such as the Clergyman of a parish has with his parishioners. And, as the Liturgy is the Book which distinguishes Churchmen, I may certainly ask of them. Where can be the harm, when we give away a Bible, of giving also a Prayer Book? As I think no real Churchman would say that there is, he cannot consistently object to those, who recommend their joint distribution.
