Augustine of Canterbury from Rome at the end of the sixth century ; they know, and care to know, nothing of the seven British Bishops whom Augustine found in England, and who assured him that they acknowledged the Bishop of Rome as a brother Bishop, but as nothing more, and that they owed allegiance to their own primate, the Bishop of Caerleon. They know nothing of the discrepancies of dis- cipline between the British and Roman Churchy showing its non-Roman origin ; they willingly know nothing ...of the British Bishops who were present at the earliest councils of the Church, as at Aries and Sardica ; and with respect to the era of the Reforma- tioti, they assert that a new Church was then founded for the first time by Henry VII I, ^ Edward VI., and Queen Elizabeth, and by their Parliaments, and that whatever authority this Church possesses is due to their temporal acts and those of their successors. They know nothing, at least they appear to know Digitized by VjOOQ IC JUILLY. 141 nothing, of the distinct and repeated protests of English Sovereigns, that in bearing the title of Supreme Governor over aU Persons and in all Causes in the Church, they da not pretend to exercise any spiritual authority or discharge any spiritual func- tion ; that they do not challenge to themselves — but eocpresdy repudiate — any right to propound articles of faith, to ordain to spiritual offices, or to exercise any ministry of the Word, or of the Sacraments, or of Discipline in foro conscientice ; and that the ew- temal, distributive, regulating, and coactive authority which they do claim in Church matters, is that which our own princes and aM Christian princes exercised before the encroachments of the Papacy, and which was exercised also with Divine approval by the sovereigns of God's chosen people.
