In all _material_ edifices, it is considered of the greatest importance that the _foundation_ should be _firm_, _safe_, and substantial. Of course, we have reason to expect _these_ requisites in the foundation of all _spiritual_ edifices; and of course, we may _naturally_ expect them, in the new erection of God's work which your Church has just destroyed, but which she is _now_ going to re-construct into a _more_ perfect and durable form than _God_ had made it. Now, upon _what_ foundation will your Church _re_construct this demolished spiritual edifice? In her twenty-first article of her thirty-nine articles, (and mind, she has sworn to these articles as God's truth,) I find the following words: "General councils may not be gathered together without the commandment, and will of princes. And when they be gathered together, (forasmuch as they be an assembly of men, whereof all be not governed by the Spirit, and word of God,) they _may err_, and _sometimes have erred, even in things pertaining unto God_." Now, please tell me, Most Reverend Gentlemen, of _what_ is your new spiritual Church to be built? Surely not of brick and mortar! but of course, it is to be erected, on the testimony of man, or of some body of men. But your article says, men may err, and _have_ erred, _even in things pertaining to God_. Therefore, your council, or councils, of your new Church _may err_, and therefore, how will you build upon these _fallible_ men an _infallible_ foundation? But you will indignantly reply, the article intimates, that they may err _unless_ governed by the _Spirit_, and word of God. Well, Most Reverend Gentlemen, is it likely God will give _them_ his Spirit, and unerring word to _re_construct a new Church, when they have just destroyed the infallible, and beautiful work of _God's own hands_? Is it in the nature of things, that _God_ should _contradict_ Himself, to second the BABEL ideas, of your scriptural Church, yet to be formed?
