Excerpt from An Answer to the Rev. G. S. Faber's Difficulties of Romanism

After having related the origin Of your Established Church, and shewn its essential defect, I pass in my second Letter to the examination of its doctrine. The end of my whole discussion is to shew - 1 st. That an absolute necessity, stronger than every Obstacle and repugnance, renders it_ Obligatory to put an end to the schism, by returning to the mother Church. 2dly. TO prove that all the pretexts and grievances alleged to justify separation from that church, or to retain people at a distance from it, far from being founded On scrip ture or primitive tradition, are most certainly in Oppo sition to them I begin then by demonstrating - and there is no exaggeration in the expression - that the Church is essentially one, that there can never be a motive for breaking unity with her, and that to depart from unity, is by the very act, departing from the Church of Jesus Christ. Here proofs of every kind combine to exalt to the highest degree Of certainty, this fundamental truth, entirely decisive between our separated brethren and ourselves: both the natural light of the human mind, and the design and precepts of our Saviour, the Father and Creator of this light; the doctrine of all the apostle? And their disciples, doctors or bishops, as well in their particular writings, as in their decisions in council; the practice of the Church.
