In this important document we find the first public assumption of the present legal title of the " Protestant Episcopal Church " hy a representative body of that Church. There is also the assertion of " the ecclesiastical and spiritual independence of ' the Protestant Epis- copal Church in Maryland, '" as necessarily following from the civil in- dependence of the state. The right of this Church of Maryland " to preserve herself as an entire Church, agreeably to her ancient usages and profession, " as well as to exercise her "spiritual power" derived "from Christ and His Apostles" independent of "Every foreign or other jurisdiction, " so far as " consistent with the civil rights of Society is claimed.
