Excerpt from The Position of the Church of England in the Catholic World: Suggested by a Perusal of C, of the Tracts for the TimesThat Mr. S. (the clergyman) shall prove that the Protestant church of England is the one holy Catholic and apostolic church. The introduction of the word Protestant, as an epithet of the church of England, was immediately objected to by us. The priests used every effort to have the clause stand as above, think ing, perhaps, that we had not any very particular reason for the omission of the word, but when, after nearly two hours' discus sion, they found us determined that the word Protestant must come out, they became as determined that there should not be any discussion. And there was not. They knew well that they could not attack us, unless, by the improper use of the word, we granted the main question, and mixed ourselves up with every fanatical sect under England's sun which might choose to call itself Protestant.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
