To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The clergy are not the Church ; their voice is not the voice of the Church ; their election is not the election of the Church ; and prelatical ordination has no more claim to be considered true and valid than the ordination proceeding from presbyters or elders. Having, as I conceive, proved all this, I might dismiss, as altogether needless, any further inquiry into the system of Puseyism, since, the foundation being destroyed, the superstructure raised upon it must fall to the ground. But that ...no argument may remain unanswered, I shall next proceed to show that, independently of the foregoing consi- derations, the doctrine of Apostolic Succession, as advanced by the Oxford divines, rests upon a basis as hollow and insecure as any other part of their system. LECTURE III. HAVING first given an account, derived chiefly from their own writings, of the principles advocated by the Oxford divines, my last lecture was taken up with an examination of the original nature and constitution of a Christian church, the functions and qualifications of its first ministers, the mode of their appointment, and the duties which they had to discharge From this I think it was made to appear that the very basis of the system now under examination was most unsound, that the assump- tions with which the high-church party set out are altogether wide of the truth, and that from first to last, from the very nature of a Christian church to the office and character of its ministers, there is scarcely a proposition advanced by them which is not founded in error and delusion.
