Pàgina 89 - I should be unwilling to affirm that where the ministry is not episcopal, there is no church, nor any true administration of the sacraments. And very many there are among us who are zealous for episcopacy, yet dare not go so far as to annul the ordinances of God performed by any other ministry.
Pàgina 295 - Dr Seeker was a wise man, an edifying preacher, and an exemplary bishop. But the course of his life and studies had not qualified him to decide on such a work as that of the 'Divine Legation.'

Pàgina 170 - The charge is prepared, the lawyers are met, The judges all ranged — a terrible show ! Beggar's Opera.
Pàgina 177 - Christ, at his second coming, will, by an act of his power, restore to life and consciousness the dead of the human species; who by their own nature, and without this interposition, would remain in the state of insensibility to which the death brought upon mankind by the sin of Adam had reduced them.
Pàgina 194 - ... too much pride, with, I hope, a small mixture of honesty, to bear being in debt. I am now out of it, and in possession of a clear independency of that sort. I must not go back, and begin the world again at fifty-five.
Pàgina 381 - On one occasion I, and the Archbishop of Canterbury, and many other Lords, were with George III., when his Majesty exclaimed, 'I dare say I am the first King whose Archbishop of Canterbury and whose Chancellor had both run away with their wives — was it not so, Chancellor?' 'May it please your Majesty, will you ask the Archbishop that question first?
Pàgina 131 - A Preservative against the Principles and Practices of the Nonjurors both in Church and State; or, An Appeal to the Consciences and Common Sense of the Christian Laity.
Pàgina 364 - Not to mention a variety of verbal alterations, of the necessity or propriety of which we are by no means satisfied, we saw with grief that two of the confessions of our Christian faith, respectable for their antiquity, have been entirely laid aside; and that even in that which is called the Apostles...
