Excerpt from The Message and Position of the Church of England: Being an Enquiry Into the Claims of the Mediaeval Church With an Appendix on the Validity of Roman Orders
Tiie Appendix on Roman Orders, added now to my Essay on the Church of England, expresses opinions which I have held for many years; and upon which I acted, in 1885 when I retired from the Ministry Of the Roman Church. MV Opinions were cleared and strengthened by the Pope's Letter Of 1896. As soon as I read it, I saw he had committed a grave error in tactics; and that he must in the end either retire from his position, or perish in it. TO borrow a military phrase, the Pope's Letter enables us to take the Cfl'enu sive, with regard' to the controversy on Orders, instead Of acting as heretofore on.

The known learning, and what appeared to some, perhaps, the exaggerated orthodoxy of the Bishop, disposes, at once, of the notion that there is anything in the idea of a National or State Church such as has always existed in the Church of England, allied to the heresy called Erastianism.
