Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Second Letter to the Rev. William Palmer, M.A: Of Worcester College, Oxford; Demonstratively Proving the Church of England to Be an Heretical and Schismatical Church, the Mere Creature of Human Invention
I have refrained from mentioning the Waldenses, So cinians, Hussites, Lutherans, Calvinists, and all those, almost innumerable Sects continually shooting out of the Trunk of the Reformation, and spreading far and near over our bewildered Islands; such as the Anabaptists, Independents, Quakers, Mugoltonians, Seekers, Familists, Philadelphians, &c., because all these are destitute of even the least Pre tence to the Name of the Catholic Church; having neither lawful Pastors, lawful Mission, nor right Ordination, and, as the Church of England grants, cannot be given without Imposition of Hands performed by Bishops. And Bishops, all these Sects ingeniously. Own, they have not, and conse quently have no pretensions to be considered as forming any part of the Catholic Church. In regard to the main Points in controversy between Protestants and the Catholic Church; what the Greek Church holds and professes, let us learn from the pen of an ingenious Protestant Gentleman, Sir Edwin Sandy's, in his Euroj'ow Speculum, p. 233.
