115 p.; 21 cm. [title in full] Aids to reflection on the seemingly double character of the Established Church, with reference to the foundation of a "Protestant Bishopric" at Jerusalem, recently announced in the Prussian State Gazette. By William Palmer, M.A., fellow and tutor of St. Mary Magdalene College, Oxford, and Deacon in the Church of England. Oxford, John Henry Parker: J. G. F. and J. Rivington, London. MDCCCXLI. -- `CONCLUSION. We had Bishops once, and Clergy, and a King, who would have taught, and led, and ruled us in the faith and fear of God;who desired the unity of the whole Church,both East and West, on Catholic principles; who were stout Protestants indeed, in some sense, and called themselves so, and were disposed,mistakenly,as it seems to me,but not without a purpose for which that mistake was permitted, to defend our own,and even the foreign Reformation,and to wink, for a time, at much evil, if by any means the foreigners could be corrected. we who in past times murdered our Sovereign,and have since shared the regal power among our own factions, basing the new government upon the principle of anti-Catholic Protestantism, which it has ever since attempted, though in vain,to make the spirit and principle of the Church, must restore the power we have plundered from the Crown, not so much by political change, as by an improved moral temper of dutiful and religious hearts: we must seek of the State that it should enter into the true spirit of the Church as Catholic and Apostolic, and use its influence to undo the evil which the contrary policy of the last century and a half has caused. The end.' (p. [113]-15) Fair, removed. Outer leaves detached and edgeworn, but complete.
