Now, you know, deareft Sifters, I am not given to fliut my eyes with refped: to what we muft all feel to be the ftiortcomings of the Engllfh Church. I think you know that, had I chofen to defend and flatter and fupport everything in it, to ufe what I know of eccle- fiaftlcal hlftory for the purpofe of proving its prefent perfedllon, there are few dignities in it to which I might not have afpired. As I did not, you alfo know what I am : though, by God's great goodnefs, a thoufandfold happier wit...h your love and with your regard, than I could have been in any dignity. I only refer to this to remind you that my eyes are not blinded. What then do I fee ? On the one hand the Engllfh Church teaching three or four dod:rines lefs clearly and plainly than I could wifh — dimly, If you will, and indlftlndly — but teaching them ftill : on the other, Rome teaching three or four doctrines which Bernard, which Thomas Aquinas, which Rupert, which Bona- ventura called hlafphemous, and forcing them on us.
