Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States Magazine and Democratic Review, 1843, Vol. 12 Poor credulous, superstitious men, to leave the bosom of the mother church, whose slightest fault was that she was a dry nurse! You will enter into no ia quiry as to the character of these men.' Indeed! You will in charity forbear with that species of insi nuation which is the worst calumny's best weapon - lest painful truths should be divulged l Meek minister of Christ, how much you can overlook even when you cannot forgive! But seriously, Sir Bishop, do you venture at this day to wag your mitred head at the Mun wart, ' as she struggles along the middle Atlantic, surrounded by all the terrors of the midnight storm? Can it be that insulting fling was meant for that frail, yet God-protected vessel, as she rocks in Massachusetts Bay - her icy deck crowded with men kneeling in ao. Lemu covenant with God, who alas! Had given them no authority to minister in holy things.' Poor deluded men! Under 'jones'ed wrongs they had fled to our ih hospitable wilderness, and having no authority to minister in holy things, they must live without Christianity. N o cathe drals - no rich livings - no widow's tithes - no poor man's church rates-no fines on the renewal of leases - no fox-hunting clergy-wno starved curates - artd above all, no Bishops deriving their authority from St. Peter through all the P0pes none of these things to constitute them a church of the living God!
