Стр. 71 - Committee who were present are unanimously agreed in opinion that the doctrine held by Mr. Gorham is not contrary or repugnant to the declared doctrine of the Church of England as by law established, and that Mr. Gorham ought not, by reason of the doctrine held by him, to have been refused admission to the vicarage of Brampford Speke.
Стр. 383 - Sermons in 1843, I have thought him unsafe in philosophy, and no Butlerian though a warm admirer of Butler. No ; it was before 1843, in 1841 when he published Tract XC. The general argument of that tract was unquestionable ; but he put in sophistical matter without the smallest necessity. What I recollect is about General Councils : where in treating the declaration that they may err he virtually says, ' No doubt they may — unless the Holy Ghost prevents them.
Стр. 176 - Some nursery maids and foreign sailors stared about within the spiked felon's dock which shut off the body of the cathedral, and tried in vain to hear what was going on inside the choir. As a wise author — a Protestant, too — has lately said, "the scanty service rattled in the vast building, like a dried kernel too small for its shell...
Стр. 41 - The purpose of Parliamentary life resolves itself with me simply and wholly into one question — Will it ever afford the means under God of rectifying the relations between the Church and the State, and give me the opportunity of setting forward such a work? There must be either such a readjustment, or a violent crisis. The present state of discipline cannot be borne for very many years ; and here lies the pinch. Towards the settlement of money questions something has been done by the Church Commission...
Стр. 50 - ... Gladstone has said the state ought to have a conscience, but it has not a conscience. Can he give it a conscience? Is he to impose his own conscience on the state? He would be very glad to do so, if it thereby would become the state's conscience. But that is absurd. He must deal with facts. It has a thousand consciences, as being in its legislative and executive capacities the aggregate of a hundred minds ; that is, it has no conscience. ' You will say, " Well the obvious thing would be, if the...
Стр. 305 - ... makes me mistrust my judgment, as I suppose one should always do when any proposal seeming to present an aspect of incredible wickedness is advanced. Feb. 17. — I concur with my whole heart and soul in the desire for repose ; and I fully believe that the gift of an interval of reflection is that which would be of all gifts the most precious to us all, which would restore the faculty of deliberation now almost lost in storms, and would afford the best hope both of the development of the soundest...
Стр. 204 - He opened a conversation on the controversies which were then agitated in the Church of England, and which had Oxford for their centre. I do not think I had paid them much attention; but I was an ardent student of Dante, and likewise of Saint Augustine; both of them had acted powerfully upon my mind; and this was in truth the best preparation I had for anything like mental communion with a person of his elevation. He then told me that he had been seriously studying the controversy, and that in his...
Стр. 342 - Among other things, he did advise, maintain and affirm, " that the body and blood of Christ, being really present after an immaterial and spiritual manner in the consecrated bread and wine, are therein and thereby given to all, and are received by all who come to the Lord's table...
Стр. 127 - It is an insight into the facts of particular eras, and their relation one to another, which generates in the mind a conviction that the materials exist for forming a public opinion and for directing it to a particular end.
Стр. 64 - ... that the grace may be granted before, in, or after baptism ; that baptism is an effectual sign of grace, by which God works invisibly in us, but only in such as worthily receive it, — in them alone it...
