Oriel College had no more right than Exeter Hall to define the doctrines of the Church. The doctrines of the Church had been defined, once for all, by Act of Parliament ; and there was no authority within the Church em- powered, even by ecclesiastical law, to define the definitions. It needed a secular tribunal to " dismiss hell with costs, " as other English Churchmen were presently to discover ; and a Church possessing the authority which the Tractarians thought that a Church ought to have wa...s only to be found at Rome. In due course the most logical of them realised that fact and 'verted. They only worked their way slowly, however, to their conclusion ; and, in the meantime, remaining within the Church of England, they engaged in vigorous propagandism.
