Excerpt from The Tombs of the Prophets: A Lay Sermon on the Corruptions of the Church of Christ
When a huge edifice is shaken by a small force, it is evident that the edifice itself must be in a very rotten condition; or that the foundations must be giving way. Such is the present condition of the Church of England; for, though it becomes not me to say so, yet it cannot be concealed that my Letter to the Archbishop of York, ' (dated February 19, 1831, and written in September, has produced a practicable breach in the walls of the Establishment. I had anticipated some success in the way of attack, but chiefly because I thought it would be firing the first yam for it did not escape my notice, that a vast train of artillery was ready for the battle, though there was a sad want of bold engineers to undertake the. Siege. To my great surprise, however, my own mortar has by itself done no small damage to the main wall of the fortress; and I doubt not, when the other guns are brought to bear on the works, we shall soon enter in with drums beating and colours flying, to plant the standard of the Cross on the citadel of Babylon.
