Excerpt from What Is Popery?: A Lecture Delivered in the Churches of St. Margaret's Bay, N. S., In the Years 1842, 1847, and 1851
But before entering upon the subject, I would again call upon you, as I have always done when alluding to other denominations, to endeavour to think and to speak of all these things in a Spirit of peace, and with a greater desire after the truth as it is in the Bible, than after the conquest of other peeple's Opinions; with a greater wish to know the will of God better and better every day than to increase our numbers, or overcome by force of arguments or of mere highosounding words, those who Oppose them selvesto us, or to what we consider to be the truth as it is in Jesus. Let us pray, then, Beloved, for the spirit of meekness as well as for that degree of firmness and unsha ken' stability in the faith which is always so necessary for the support of all Christian doctrines.
We may not always have appeared to possess as much of that gentleness and meekness as the Gospel demands. In all discussions there always naturally mixes too much harshness and severity and we are in danger of falling into this snare quite as much as those with whom we are often obliged to contend, and therefore it is very neces sary that we ever bear in mind, and in these days of dis cord more than ever, this valuable Scripture passage in the 25th verse of the 2d Chapter of the 2d Epistle to Timothy, where the Apostle calls upon Timothy to be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient in med ncss Mose Mal oppose And again in lst. Peter, m. 15, Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason ofthe hope that is in you will; meekness cuzrlj'car.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a divide that arose within the Christian world - the differences between the beliefs of English Catholics and Roman Catholics. The author, himself an English Catholic, provides a detailed account of the history, doctrines, and practices of both branches of Catholicism, highlighting the key areas where they diverge. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these differences for Protestants, who often misunderstand the nuances between the two and may be misled by the belief that the two churches hold largely similar views. The book offers a valuable resource for readers interested in gaining a deeper knowledge of the history of Christianity and the complexities of religious thought and practice.
