The supremacy then of King and Parliament in a Christian nation, over bishops and presbyters, is the su- premacy of no external or secular power over the Church, but of the sovereign power of and in the Church, over its subordinate officers; or, to speak more correctly, it is the assertion of the sovereignty of the Church as a whole over any one particular portion of its members ; a principle which is the foundation of all good government, and which it were the strangest of all strange phenomen...a, did I not know the infinite confusions which possess men's minds on this question, to see disputed by English Dissenters. The writers against Establishments, in the Christian Reformer, do not hold the doctrine of the apostolical suc- cession in more respect than I do. But they hold, I fear, the other and not less mischievous doctrine, that the ob- jects of civil society are purely physical and external. And the prevailing opinions and practices of the present age, in this country not less than in others, are likely no doubt to countenance them in it.
