Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Argument for Episcopacy Considered: A Sermon Preached in Whitehall Chapel, on Sunday, March 1, 1840, at the Consecration of the Right Rev. Henry Pepys, D.D. Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man
It is', accordingly, often made a question whether any (christian commumty now can be in accordance with the Scriptural pattern of a Church. The Church, as we have preserved it, is more especially assailed on this ground. Schism after schism founds its justification on this. Every new sect, in sepa rating itself from our communion, professes to do it for the purpose of exhibiting once more to the world the living reality to which the scriptural portrait is supposed to belong. With this View Church govern ment, divine worship, the ministry, have all been remodelled again and again; and with this View, attempts have been made even to revive miracles, prophecy, gifts of healing, and diversities of tongues. The result is lamentable enough.
