Excerpt from Before the Table: An Inquiry, Historical and Theological, Into the True Meaning of the Consecration Rubric in the Communion Service of the Church of England; With Appendix and Supplement, Containing Papers by the Right Rev. The Bishop of St. Andrews, and the Rev. R. W. Ken
A second instance is connected with the famous name of Bishop Cosin. Again and again, in the Lower Houses of both Convocations, and in various speeches and publications, the charge which was brought against him, as regards llls alleged practice of consecrating in the Eastward Position, has been reiterated; but perfect silence has been maintained, except when such Silence has been forcibly interrupted, respecting that prelate's disavowal of the chargedl In the case of a living man it is acknowledged by all persons to be culpable to repeat an accusation which has been refuted. How far, in the case of the dead, this rule of charity and justice ought to prevail, I will not inquire. Concerning Bishop Cosin I will, to what is contained in the following pages, only add this, that since they were written, I have had an opportunity of examining the ms. Notes (intermingled with those of Sancroft) in the prayer-book which is one of the great treasures of the Diocesan Library at Durham,2 and that I am persuaded that if his life and opinions were fully set before us, certain results would. Appear not acceptable to some of those who confidently quote his authority.
