To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A large body of the most pious and learned divines of the Established Church of England, in an early part of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when the reformation of that Church was about to be conclusively settled, earnestly petitioned that the sign of the cross in ■^ The Prelaticai Church is a curious mixture of high claims and low practices. We have seen much of the first, Ave may here advert to one of the second. One would think, from the Avay in which ordination^and the sacraments are spoken ...of — the exclusive channels of salvation, if not salvation itself — that the administration of bap- tism by any one save a prelatically ordained officer, would be shrunk from as sacrilege ; but so it is, that the Church of England, following the Church of Rome, recognises and practises lay baptism ! — bap- tism by commanding officers in the army or navy, M'ho have no holy orders ! What are Ave to think of the consistency of a system which allows any layman, hoAvever humble, to dispense baptism as validly as the highest bishop; and Avhich, at the same time, is unchurching nine-tenths of Protestant Christendom, because its Churches have no Episcopal ordination ?
