Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Vindication of the Episcopal Succession A small pamphlet has been recently published, entitled "Methodism Defended, and Prelatical Succession Refuted; being a Reply to ´Tracts for the People, No.4,´ by Rev. A. Atwood." This production has called forth the remarks which follow; and as Mr. A. has not confined himself to "Prelatical Succession," but attacked the Church upon other points, the author has been compelled to embody in his remarks much that is not embraced under the title which he has adopted. While he has maintained the principles of the Church without compromise, he has endeavored to avoid the use of language which could prove offensive to those of a different persuasion. There are many epithets in Mr. A.´s production, of which he thinks he has a right to complain, but he has passed them over in silence - his wish being, not to defend himself, but the truth. "It is evident unto all men, diligently reading Holy Scripture and Ancient Authors, that from the Apostle´s time there have been these Orders of Ministers in Christ´s Church: Bishops, Priests, and Deacons. Which offices were evermore had in such reverend estimation, that no man might presume to execute any of them, except he were first called, tried, examined, and known to have such qualities as are requisite for the same; and also by public Prayer, with imposition of Hands, were approved and admitted thereunto by. lawful Authority." "O, Holy Jesus! who hast purchased to thyself an universal Church, and hast promised to be with the Ministers of Apostolic Succession to the end of the world; be graciously pleased," &c.
