This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

Abstract of several articles contributed to the "Church Journal" (Neir York), between Ajiril 4, 1870, and June 15, 1870, in reference to the question of the omission of the "Filioque." I can not join in commending the omission of ' the obnoxious Filioque" in the recital of the Nicene Creed. "Not an English Churchman present," says your correspondent, " thought, even for a moment, that he was thereby compromising his Church or himself." Of this I have no doubt; and as little do I doubt that every English Churchman present and consenting to the omission, did compromise both himself and his Church, whatever he might think to the contrary. The words "and the Son" are as plainly part of the confession of faith in God the Holy Ghost, as the words " of the same substance " are part of the confession of faith in God the Son.

I can not see that English or American Churchmen have any more right to omit the clause "and the Son" out of compliment to the Greek, than they have to say "of like substance," out of compliment to the Arian, or to adore the Sacrament when occasion is given, out of compliment to the Komanist. The offenses differ in degree, but in kind they are the same. They all show, so far as I can see, on the part of such English or American Churchmen as sanction them, either a culpable indifference to the obligations of conscience, or a presumptuous appeal to some "higher law" than God has given them in His Church. I consider myself at liberty to examine, so it be in an humble aud candid temper, the Creed and formularies of the...
