with the ,church of ,england1 not       
,,merely because  my parents and        
forefathers were members of her         
community4    ,,the connexion which my  
parents and forefathers held with the   
,church of  ,england ,i consider to be a
 sufficient reason why ,i should        
continue in  communion with her1 if     
there be nothing contrary to the law of 
,god in  such a connexion4  ,for the    
fifth commandment peremptorily requires 
me to  8honour my father and mother20   
and1 assuredly1 this duty implies       
reverence to their example1 if that     
example be not inconsistent with the    
rule of ,god's holy word4    ,but as a  
man's parents and forefathers may have  

been members of a  communion1 a         
continuance in which would be manifestly
 contrary to the  word of ,god 7as1 for 
instance1 if a man were born of ,popish 
or ,socinian  parents27 ,i therefore    
say1 that 8,i maintain communion with   
the ,church of  ,england1 not ,,merely  
because my parents and forefathers were 
members of  her community40             
,,reason ,,ii4      ,i maintain         
communion with the ,church of ,england1 
not ,,merely because  she is ancient and
 venerable4    ,,her antiquity is a     
sufficient reason to justify my         
continuance in her  communion1 if it can
 be shown that nothing materially       
differing from the  primitive and       
apostolic ,church1 in doctrine or       
discipline1 has1 in the  long course of 
her existence1 been introduced into her 
constitution4  ,for  the more ancient   
any ,church can prove to be1 the nearer 
is the approach  to the source of       
,divine authority and sanction4  ,now   
the ,church of  ,england existed long   

before her corruption by popery2 and the
 labours and  sufferings of her ,martyrs
 in the sixteenth century were employed1
 not in  planting a new ,church1 but in 
correcting gross abuses in one which had
  been long established4  ,they are     
therefore called ,reformers4  ,the      
,church of ,england1 as is highly       
probable1 was planted by ,st4 ,paul2 and
 we  know from credible history1 that   
there was a church in ,britain during   
the  apostolic age1 and that there were 
bishops who presided in it soon after   
that period4    ,but as that which is   
ancient may have been corrupted1        
antiquity alone  would not fully justify
 my continuance in any visible ,church1 
though it  strongly enforces the        
necessity of earnestness and diligence  
in inquiring  about the reality and     
nature of the supposed corruption1      
before ,i venture  to quit the ,church  
of which ,i have been made by baptism a 
member4        ,,reason ,,iii4      ,i  
maintain communion with the ,church of  

,england1 not ,,merely because  she is  
established by law4    ,,this1 like the 
two former reasons1 is a sufficient one 
to enforce my  continuance in communion 
with the ,church of ,england1 unless she
 be found1  after due inquiry1 to be    
contrary1 in her constitution or        
doctrines1 to  the word of ,god4  ,for  
,i am required to 8submit myself to     
every ordinance  of man for the ,lord's 
sake40  ,nothing can justify my         
departure from a  church so established1
 but the well-known decision in cases   
where the law  of ,god and the law of   
man are in opposition to each other4    
,in any such  case the duty is clear to 
8obey ,god rather than man40    ,such an
 opposition may exist between human laws
 and the law of ,god2 and  therefore 8,i
 maintain communion with the ,church of 
,england1 not ,,merely  because she is  
established by law40        ,,reason    
,,iv4      ,but ,i maintain communion   
with the ,church of ,england1 because   
her  government is episcopal1 i4e4 by   

,bishops2 this being the mode of        
,church government which existed in the 
primitive ,church1 and was  founded by  
the ,apostles of our ,lord4    ,,in     
stating reasons for conformity which are
 to be comprised within a few  pages1 it
 is impossible to enter at large into   
the proof of the fact here  asserted1   
viz4 that the primitive church as       
founded by the ,apostles of  our ,lord1 
was episcopal2 or1 in other words1 that 
the power of ordination  and government 
in the church was vested by the         
,apostles in officers  superior to the  
order of ,presbyters1 and who are now   
called by the name  of ,bishops4  ,i    
must therefore only state a few         
circumstances1 which are  capable of    
being clearly proved1 without producing 
the evidence on which  my belief of them
 is built4    #a4  ,episcopal           
government1 as established in the       
,church of ,england1 has  all the       
authority in its favour which           
prescription or long usage can give  it4

  ,the most learned of its adversaries  
have never been able to fix on  any     
period in the ,christian ,church1 from  
the time of the ,apostles to the        
,reformation1 in which the ordination of
 men to the ministry of the gospel  was 
considered to be vested in any other    
minister or ministers than a  ,bishop4  
#b4  ,all the instances of ordination1  
recorded in the ,new ,testament1 are  in
 favour of ,episcopacy4  ,for there is  
no single instance of ordination1  on   
record there1 performed by presbyters1  
or at least without the  presence and   
co-operation of some officer superior to
 presbyters4    #c4  ,all the directions
 concerning ordination1 given in the    
,new ,testament1  are addressed to      
persons superior to presbyters4  ,such1 
confessedly1 were  ,timothy and ,titus2 
and to them only are any such directions
 given4    #d4  ,the ,apostles1 at their
 decease1 left the government of the    
several  churches which they had        
planted1 and the ordination of their    

ministers1  in the hands of fixed       
,bishops4    ,it may be granted that1   
during the life-time of the ,apostles1  
the title  ,bishops1 was common to all  
presbyters1 and that this name was not  
confined to an officer superior to      
presbyters till after their decease4    
,for it is not the name but the office  
about which ,i am inquiring4--,it       
moreover appears that1 during the life  
of the ,apostles1 some churches had     
each its settled ,bishop1 as the seven  
churches of ,asia1 who are addressed  in
 their several epistles through the     
medium of an individual2 7,rev4 ii4     
#c47 and that of ,crete1 where ,titus   
was left by ,st4 ,paul4 7,titus i4 #b47 
,other churches however had none as yet 
settled among them1 being under  the    
immediate government of the ,apostles1  
who frequently visited or sent  to them1
 and either themselves1 or by other     
superior officers1 ordained  ministers  
for them4    ,but immediately after the 
death of the ,apostles there was1 in    

every  church1 an officer superior to   
presbyters1 who was called by way of    
distinction a ,bishop4  ,this we learn  
from express testimonies in the         
remaining writings of men who lived in  
the time of the ,apostles2 such as      
,clemens ,romanus1 mentioned in ,phil4  
iv4 #c4--;,ignatius1 ,bishop of         
,antioch1  who suffered martyrdom in the
 year #ajg2 and ,polycarp1 ,bishop of   
,smyrna1  who was burned in the year    
#afg1 aged one hundred years or more4   
,these  excellent apostolic men have    
expressly spoken in their epistles of   
,bishops1 ,priests1 and ,deacons1 as the
 stated officers of the ,christian      
,churches1 assigning to the former the  
prerogatives or rights of  government   
and ordination in their several         
districts4  ,besides this1  ancient     
historians of the church have given     
lists of successive ,bishops1  that is1 
of individual presidents1 in several of 
the more important  churches1 reaching  
up to the very time of the ,apostles4   

,now it is not to be supposed that1     
immediately after the death of the      
,apostles1 any innovation or change1 so 
important and invidious as that of      
episcopal government1 would or could    
have been introduced2 or that1          
supposing it to be destitute of         
apostolic sanction1 its introduction    
should produce no opposition4  ,much    
less is it to be supposed that such  men
 as ,clemens1 ,ignatius1 and ,polycarp1 
the disciples and friends of the        
,apostles1 would have suffered such an  
innovation to be introduced1 and  have  
mentioned it in the highest terms of    
approbation4  ,but the truth is1  that  
they speak of the three orders of       
,bishops1 ,priests1 and ,deacons1 in    
the ,christian ,church as conformed to  
the three ranks of ministers in the     
,jewish ,church1 the ,high ,priests1 the
 common ,priests1 and the ,levites1     
#h--;as ordained by ,christ himself1 and
 as existing even during ,his own       
ministry1 ,he himself acting as the     

great ,bishop1 ,his ,apostles as ,his   
,presbyters1 and the seventy disciples  
as ,his ,deacons3 and as at length      
established in the universal ,church by 
apostolic authority and usage4    ,on   
this ground then ,i justify my          
continuance in the ,church of ,england1 
viz4 its conformity in this important   
branch of its constitution to the       
primitive and apostolic church4  ,but ,i
 wish it to be understood that ,i       
assign my reasons for such a            
continuance1 not with a view to the     
conversion of those to my sentiments who
 are not members of our church2  but    
merely for the purpose of showing that  
,i do not act without reason1  and of   
confirming those who are members of our 
own church1 but have not  had an        
opportunity of obtaining information on 
the subject under  consideration1--of   
confirming them in their attachment to  
that church1  which ,i consider to be   
8built10 in its constitution as well as 
its  doctrines1 8on the foundation of   

the ,apostles and ,prophets1 ,jesus     
,christ  ,himself being the chief       
corner-stone40  ,from ,,him all         
authority descends2  for in ,,him1 as   
8the head of ,his body the church10 it  
is all vested by  ,divine appointment4  
8,all power is given unto me in heaven  
and upon  earth4--,go ye therefore and  
teach 7or make disciples of7 all        
nations1  baptising them in the name of 
the ,father1 the ,son1 and the ,holy    
,ghost40  ,thus ,he handed down the     
authority ,he had received to ,his      
,apostles2 they  transmitted it to their
 immediate successors2 and so it has    
descended to  the ,bishops or chief     
pastors of the church in our own day4   
,without  wishing to interfere with the 
right of private judgment which belongs 
to  every man1 and for the exercise of  
which he is accountable to ,god only2 ,i
  own that ,i cannot see how the        
,christian ,church as a visible society1
  could have been continued in the world
 without such a communication of        

,divine authority4        ,,reason ,v4  
,i maintain communion with the ,church  
of ,england1 because her doctrines  are 
fixed by articles of ,religion1 which   
appear to me to be derived  from and    
perfectly conformable to the ,scriptures
 of ,truth4    ,i ,,am fully aware that 
some among the ministers of the church  
to which ,i  belong1 may have entered   
into her service without understanding  
or fully  approving the articles to     
which they subscribed their assent and  
consent1  and consequently may preach   
doctrines differing from those of the   
church  whose ministers they are4  ,the 
possibility of the supposed case appears
  from the painful necessity1 under     
which a late ,bishop of ,london was     
laid1  of depriving an unsound clergyman
 of his office4  ,but such ministers    
cannot do this without exposing their   
own ignorance or hypocrisy2 nor can     
their own unbelief make the faith of the
 church of no effect4  ,these  articles 
,i consider to be the bulwark of        

orthodoxy or true doctrine in  our      
church1--the means of her preservation  
from apostacy in the lowest  state of   
spiritual life to which she has been or 
may be reduced1 and of  providing for   
her recovery from such a state whenever 
,god is pleased to  breathe upon her4   
,a declaration or subscription to the   
truth of the  ,bible would afford no    
security1 as all who bear the ,christian
 name1  however heretical or unsound in 
opinion1 pretend to derive their creed  
from the word of ,god4  ,i conceive     
therefore that it is of high importance 
to have the principal articles of the   
,christian faith embodied in such a     
way1 that no heretic can1 without       
manifest dishonesty1 subscribe to them4 
,if the incumbent or minister of any    
parish be thus dishonest1 having        
subscribed to what he never cordially   
believed1 and preaching doctrines       
contrary to the articles he has         
subscribed1 when his incumbency or      
ministry in that parish ceases by death 

or any other cause1 the articles  of the
 church remain in full force4  ,but if  
no such test existed1 and if  the       
election to church preferment were      
vested in the people1 a single          
incumbency might so corrupt the opinions
 of the congregation as to  perpetuate  
heresy from generation to generation4   
,i continue therefore in the communion  
of the ,church of ,england1 because  she
 has fixed principles1 and those        
principles are1 in my judgment1         
scriptural and 8according to godliness40
        ,,reason ,,vi4      ,i maintain 
communion with the ,church of ,england1 
because her mode of  worship is         
primitive and scriptural1 and in my     
judgment best calculated  to promote    
general and individual edification4     
8,mr4 ,wheatly has proved 7referring us 
to the testimonies of ,josephus1        
,philo1 ,paul ,fagius1 c47 that the     
ancient ,jews did always worship ,god in
  public by precomposed forms4  ,dr4    
,lightfoot not only affirms the same    

thing1 but sets down both the order and 
method of their hymns and               
supplications4  ,now it appears from the
 general tenour of the four  ,gospels1  
and particularly from ,luke iv4 #af4    
that our ,saviour habitually  attended  
at the service of the ,temple1 or of the
 ,synagogue1 on every  ,sabbath-day4    
#ab;a  ,he therefore1 by this act1 from 
week to week1 gave a  public sanction to
 all the ,jewish forms of ,divine       
worship4  ,and had it  been otherwise1  
the ,scribes and ,pharisees1 ,his       
implacable foes and  persecutors1 would 
not have failed to load ,him with their 
severest  reproaches1 as an open enemy  
to all godliness4  ,he lived and died a 
member of the ,jewish ,church4  ,he     
moreover gave a set form of prayer to   
,his ,apostles1 which has ever since    
been used in the ,christian ,church4    
,and it is evident from many passages in
 the book of their acts1 that they      
also1 in conformity to ,his ,divine     
example1 did attend on the service both 

of the ,temple and ,synagogue2 and it is
 expressly said1 7,acts xvii4 #b47  that
 it was #8the manner' of ,paul so to do4
  ,the apostolic practice is  therefore 
another sanction to the same religious  
institution4    8,mr4 ,wheatly has also 
shown1 by sundry appeals to ancient     
,christian  writers1 that the three     
first centuries joined in the use of    
precomposed  set forms of prayer1       
besides the ,lord's prayer and ,psalms2 
and that these  were styled by so early 
a writer as ,justin ,martyr1 who died in
 the year  of our ,lord #afc1 #8,common 
,prayers2' by ,origen1 #8,constituted   
,prayers2'  and by ,cyprian1 #8,solemn  
,prayers4'--,from hence the inference is
 fairly  drawn1 that a liturgy composed 
for public use1 is warranted by the     
practice of our ,saviour1 of ,his       
,apostles1 and of the primitive         
,christians40 #ab;b        ,,reason     
,,vii4      ,i maintain communion with  
the ,church of ,england1 because her    
,liturgy  is scriptural in its doctrine1

 plain in its style1 comprehensive in   
its addresses to the throne of mercy1   
and therefore adapted to general  use4  
,,in confirmation of this reason1 ,i    
shall content myself with the           
declaration of one1 whose testimony may 
have the more weight in  consequence of 
his being unconnected with the ,church  
whose liturgy he has  extolled1 the     
eloquent and candid ,robert ,hall4  ,at 
the ,leicester ,bible  ,society he spoke
 thus of our ,liturgy4  8,i believe that
 the evangelical  purity of its         
sentiments1 the chastised fervour of its
 devotion1 and the  majestic simplicity 
of its language1 have placed it in the  
very first  rank of uninspired          
compositions40        ,,reason ,,viii4  
,i maintain communion with the ,church  
of ,england1 because a separation  from 
her1 without a sufficient reason1 would1
 in my opinion1 be a  great sin4        
8,,there is1 undeniably1 such a sin as  
schism1 against which we are            
precautioned in the ,new ,testament1 as 

being one proof of carnality in a       
religious professor1 7#a ,cor4 iii4 #c47
 and as being diametrically opposite  to
 the duty of #8endeavouring to keep the 
unity of the ,spirit in the bond  of    
peace'40    8,by schism we are to       
understand a causeless secession from   
our  ,church1 into the communion of     
which we have been solemnly admitted by 
baptism4  ,and that such a secession    
would be causeless on our part1 is      
evident from this simple consideration1 
that our ,church neither proposes  to   
our faith any doctrine which is not     
evidently contained in the  ,scripture2 
nor obtrudes on us any practice which   
the ,scriptures forbids1  nor restrains 
us from the observation of any rule     
which the ,scripture  enjoins40 #ad     
,it is not1 in my humble opinion1 a     
sufficient reason for a separation  from
 the general ,church to which ,i belong1
 that the gospel is not  preached from  
the pulpit of the particular place in   
which ,i live4  ,to  admit for argument 

sake1 the worst case that can occur1    
viz4 that a  ,socinian clergyman had1   
through his own hypocrisy in            
subscription1 got  possession of the    
pulpit of my parish2 my removal from    
that parish to  another1 if ,i could    
find no other way of remedying the      
calamity1 would be  a less evil than the
 act of separation1 and the             
encouragement of a spirit  of division  
in the ,church of ,christ4  ,the word of
 ,god prohibits my making  such a       
division2 but it no where forbids me to 
make any sacrifice of  temporal         
emolument or accommodation for the      
benefit of my own soul1 or  the souls of
 my family4        ,,reason ,,ix4       
,i maintain communion with the ,church  
of ,england1 because ,i have  discovered
 no sufficient reason for a separation

distinctly understood that ,i judge no  
man1 however his  views of this subject 
may differ from my own4  ,every man must
 act  according to the guidance of his  

own conscience1 after having seriously  
and diligently used all the means within
 his reach1 by reading and  prayer1 to  
obtain information and direction4  ,it  
is not to those who  conscientiously    
dissent from our communion that ,i      
address my reasons2 but  to those of my 
own ,church4  ,and if any of these      
should be confirmed in  their attachment
 to her by reading my short statement of
 the grounds on  which my own conduct is
 built1 ,i shall have attained the only 
end ,i have  had in view1 and rejoice in
 my success4        ,,conclusion4       
,,let not my brother churchman1 however1
 satisfy himself with being a  member of
 the visible ,church2 but let him       
examine himself whether he be a  living 
branch in the true vine1 united to      
,christ by faith1 and bringing  forth   
the fruits of righteousness by virtue of
 union with ,him4  ,let him  inquire    
whether he have ever experienced        
conversion to ,god1--whether his  heart 
have been humbled1 spiritualized1 and   

comforted by those doctrines  which he  
professes to believe as derived from    
,scripture1 and by that  worship in     
which he professes to join as being     
primitive and 8according  to godliness40
  ,let him remember the solemn words of 
,him1 who is the  ,founder1 ,head1 and  
,judge of the ,christian ,church4  ,at  
the close of ,his  awful parable of the 
ten virgins1 ,he represents the foolish 
virgins1 who  had lamps without oil1 as 
coming to the door of the guest-chamber1
 and  saying 8,lord1 ,lord1 open to us40
  ,but the ,bridegroom answers1         
8,verily1 ,i  say unto you1 ,i know you 
not40  ,let him also remember the       
sentence passed  on the guest at the    
marriage feast in the gospel who had not
 on the  wedding garment4 7,matt4 xxii4 
#a1 c47    8,i am therefore to consider 
that all are not ,israel that are of    
,israel2  all were not ,jews that were  
circumcised2 all are not ,christians    
that have  been brought by baptism into 
the ,church2 for many are called but few

 are  chosen4  ,under the present state 
of things1 bad and good are together at 
the marriage feast of the gospel2 and   
many of those that are now called  to be
 among the rest will not be chosen at   
the last as fit for the  kingdom of     
,god4  ,i am therefore not to depend    
upon any privileges ,i have  at present1
 unless ,i use them right2 and must give
 all diligence to make  my calling and  
election sure40 #af

#h  ,the government of every synagogue  
seems to have borne some  resemblance of
 the general ecclesiastical             
establishment in the ,jewish  ,church4  
,for there were fixed ministers to take 
care of the religious  duties to be     
performed therein2 and these were by    
imposition of hands  solemnly admitted  
to their office4  ,he who presided is   
called in the ,new  ,testament          
,archysynagogus1 or the ruler of the    
,synagogue4  ,this word is  sometimes   
used in a larger sense1 for any one of  
the officers who had  power in the      
affairs of the synagogue4  ,thus1 7,acts

 xiii4 #ae47 we read of  the rulers of  
one synagogue1 as we also read 7,luke   
iii4 #b47 that ,annas  and ,caiaphas    
were contemporary ,high ,priests1 though
 we know that in a  strict sense there  
could be but one who bore that office4  
,but generally  and properly the word   
,archysynagogus describes the president1
 or chief of  the officers of the       
synagogue2 as ,luke xiii4 #ad4 and ,acts
 xviii4 #h1 #ag4    ,next to the        
,archysynagogus were the ,elders or     
presbyters of the  ,synagogue4  ,the    
person whose office it was to offer up  
public prayer to  ,god for the whole    
congregation1 was probably one of these4
  ,he was called  ,sheliac ,zibbor1 that
 is1 the ,angel of the ,church1 because 
as their  messenger1 he spoke to ,god   
for them4  ,hence the pastors of the    
seven  churches of ,asia1 in the book of
 the ,revelation1 are called by a name  
borrowed from the ,synagogue1 8,angels  
of the ,churches40    ,under these were 
inferior officers in every ,synagogue1  

called in ,hebrew  ,chezanim1 who were  
also fixed ministers1 and under the     
rulers of the  ,synagogue1 had the      
charge and oversight of all things in   
it4  ,the deacon  is mentioned in ,luke 
iv4 #bj4    ,in every instance1 so far  
as ,i have observed1 our ,lord adopted  
the  institutions of the ,jewish        
,church1 unless they were inapplicable  
to ,his  new dispensation4  8,to the end
 we may understand apostolical tradition
 to  have been taken from the ,old      
,testament2 that which ,aaron1 and his  
sons1  and the ,levites were in the     
,temple1 ,bishops1 ,presbyters1 and
