Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Idolatry of the Church of Rome
To say that Protestantism is a merely negative system, shows great ignorance, even of the meaning of language. To disbelieve, or to deny, may be a mere negation: but no man protests against anything, until he apprehends it to be contrary to, or inconsistent with, some great and important principle which lie maintains and loves. To be a Protestant, therefore, it is meces sary (if we attach any meaning to that word) to know so much of the Romish system, and to be so far established in the knowledge of Scriptural and Evangelical truth, as to understand and feel, that the value and importance of the latter lays us under a solemn obligation to oppose and de nounce the former. No man, therefore, can be really and truly a Protestant - can be worthy of the name - unless he has some knowledge (sound and correct, so far as it goes) of the Romish controversy.
