Brompton
, Whitsuntide, 1863.
My dear Lord
,
If
twenty years ago, soon after a few of the clergy had asserted their claim to hold all Roman doctrine,
[3] a proposal had been made to abolish Subscription to the English Formularies, it would surely have been thought to indicate very grave disloyalty to our Church. And now, when others have asserted the right to unfettered free-thinking
within her pale, and endeavoured to vindicate that right in our Courts of Law, can we help being struck at the intrepidity of the demand to sweep away at once the sober restraints of orthodoxy to which Churchmen have been so long accustomed?
Your Lordship has been openly addressed, as we are all aware, in behalf of this Relaxation of Subscription;
but as our Bishop—so deeply interested in the welfare of the whole Church—I venture to believe that you will do justice to opposite views, and in offering them to your attention, I rely on that broad-minded charity to various schools among us, which has marked your Lordship’s administration of this diocese.
Dr. Stanley’s position. [4a]
Table of Contents
The eloquent advocacy of Dr.
Stanley
on the other side is, indeed, no slight advantage to the cause of those who would now supersede the Prayer-book by modern thought.
In urging the surrender of all Subscription to our Formularies, he can speak, in his position, with a prestige and power to which I can have no claim. His testimony as to the tone of mind now prevailing in Oxford, or among the younger clergy of the last few years, it is not for me to impeach,—I must leave that to the Bishop of Oxford; [4b] but certain of his deductions from very limited facts, I may be permitted, I think, to call in question at once. As one who, without belonging to any party, has had the happiness of much friendship with all—as a Churchman, I may add, who has kept steadily to the old Prayer-book from very early childhood till now—I have had large opportunities for many years of knowing the heart and mind of my brethren the clergy, ten thousand of whom not long since responded to an appeal which I and others had been invited to make to them; and I confess that I am amazed at Dr.
Stanley’s
