Page 22 - HOLY Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation : so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an Article of the Faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation.
Page 32 - We are accounted righteous before GOD, only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST by faith ; and not for our own works or deservings. Wherefore, that we are justified by faith only, is a most wholesome doctrine, and very full of comfort, as more largely is expressed in the Homily of Justification.
Page 31 - Episcopacy, yet unwilling to condemn separatism ; claiming a descent from the Apostles, yet doubting of the gifts attending it ; and trying to extend the limits of the Church for the admission of Wesleyans and Presbyterians, while we profess to be exclusively primitive? Alas, is not this to witness against ourselves like coward sinners, who hope to serve the world without giving up God's service?

In fact, the progress of Catholic opinions in England for the last seven years is so inconceivable, that no hope should appear extravagant. Let us then remain quiet for some years, till, by God's blessing, the ears of Englishmen are become accustomed to hear the name of Rome pronounced with reverence. At the end. of this term you witt soon see the fruits of our patience.
Page 11 - Becket are held up to admiration,31 men who, if they were sincere, were yet the authors and abettors of evil, the firebrands of discord, and the subverters of civil government, reproach and censure should be cast upon those holy fathers, to whom, under God, we owe our deliverance from an intolerable yoke, Cranmer, and Ridley, and Jewel ; as though the occasional errors into which they may have fallen, under circumstances of difficulty which we are wholly unable to appreciate, were not a thousand...
Page 68 - O that thy creed were sound ! For thou dost soothe the heart, Thou Church of Rome, By thy unwearied watch and varied round Of service, in thy Saviour's holy home.
Page 24 - Let us diligently search for the well of life in the books of the New and Old Testament, and not run to the stinking puddles of men's traditions, devised by men's imagination for our justification and salvation.
Page 55 - Nine ells aloft they rear'd their towering head, And full nine cubits broad their shoulders spread. Proud of their strength, and more than mortal size, The gods they challenge, and affect the skies; Heaved on Olympus tottering Ossa stood; On Ossa, Pelion nods with all his wood: Such were they youths ! had they to manhood grown, Almighty Jove had trembled on his throne.
Page 61 - An enormous train of different superstitions were superstition. gradually substituted in the place of true religion and genuine piety, This odious revolution was owing to a variety of causes. A ridiculous precipitation in receiving new opinions, a preposterous desire of imitating the Pagan rites, and of blending them with the Christian worship, and that idle propensity, which the generality of mankind have towards a gaudy and ostentatious religion, all contributed to establish the reign of superstition...
Page 21 - If a poor woman, ignorant and superstitious, as might be supposed, was received by our LORD by so instant a blessing for touching the border of His clothes, may it not have been the case that in times, which are now considered dark and lost to Gospel truth, there might have been many such ? That there might have been many a helpless person, who knelt to a crucifix in a village churchyard, who might have done so under a more true sense of that faith which is unto life, than those who are able to express...
