I am tempted to give a few specimens of the differences between existing divines of the Church of England on the very points of accusation against Unitarianism. You are aware of the place that the Atonement holds in Evangelical preaching. Listen then to the new party in the Church, the leaders of which are, one of them, the Oxford Professor of Hebrew and a Canon of Christ Church, and the others distinguished both in the Church and in the University. These are their words:—“We now proceed to the consideration of a subject most important in this point of view,—the prevailing notion of bringing forward the Atonement explicitly and prominently on all occasions. It is evidently quite opposed to what we consider the teaching of Scripture, nor do we find any sanction for it in the gospels. _If_ the Epistles of St. Paul _appear_ to favour it, it is only at first sight.”[33] Again, you are aware of the importance attached to the doctrine of Justification by Faith, that test, as it is described, of a rising or a falling church. Listen then once more to one of the heads of the Oxford party:—“The instrument of our righteousness, I would maintain, is _holy baptism_. _Our Church_ considers it to be the _Sacrament of Baptism_; _they_ (the Reformers) consider it to be _Faith_. ***Christians are justified by the communication of an inward, most sacred, and most mysterious gift. From the very time of baptism they are temples of the Holy Ghost.*** Faith, then, being the appointed representative of baptism, derives its authority and virtue from that which it represents. It is justifying _because of baptism_; it is the faith of the baptized, of the regenerate, of the justified. Faith does not precede justification; but justification precedes faith, and makes it justifying.”[34] I must quote one other sentiment of this Oxford section of the English Protestant Church, respecting the MASS:—“At the time of the Reformation, we, in common with all the West, possessed the rite of the Roman Church, or St. Peter’s Liturgy. This _sacred_, and _most precious_ monument, then of the Apostles, our reformers received whole and entire from their predecessors, and _they mutilated the tradition_ of 1500 years.”[35] Now it only bears out my argument that this movement of Trinitarianism is in the direction of Popery.
