Excerpt from Sixteen Lectures on the Causes, Principles, and Results, of the British Reformation Such being, brie y, the simple history of the present work, the author can only say, that he has done what he could, nu der the circumstances, to render his references satisfactory. For many of the passages, especially those taken from the an cient fathers, he has cited his former book on the Church of Rome, because it is more accessible than the originals them selves, and contains copious extracts from them, made with care and accuracy. For others, he has referred to a very use ful English work, Finch on the Roman controversy, which ought to be, if it is not, in general circulation. And he has made several quotations from the admirable Letters of Dr. Philpots to Butler, worthy, in every respect, of the reputation which the distinguished writer has long enjoyed, as bishop of Exeter. But for the substantial truth and correctness of the whole, the author considers himself directly responsible; and stands prepared to defend the ground which he has occupied in any form of equal controversy, excepting always the utterly inconclusive and objectionable one of newspaper discussion. On the propriety, the expediency, the right, and - more than all - the solemn duty of defending the principles of the Befor mation against the constant assaults of the Church of Rome, the author feels quite persuaded that there can be, amongst Protestant Christians, but one opinion. The legitimate modes of performing this duty, so far as the ministry of our Church are concerned, are three: by public disputation, by the pulpit.
