"We make not our appeals sometimes from our own to foreign Churches,
sometimes from both unto Churches ancienter than both are, in effect always
from all others to our own selves, but, as becometh them that follow with all
humility the ways of peace, we honour, reverence, and obey, in the very next
degree unto God., the voice of the Church of God wherein we live."
HOOKER, Eccl. Pol. b. v. §. 71.

INTRODUCTION.

THE Author of the following pages thinks it desirable to assign his reasons for publishing them without his name. He has been induced to do so by the consideration, I. That it was unnecessary to give it, inasmuch as he has scrupulously abstained from using any expression which could be considered personally disrespectful to Dr. Pusey or his friends. II. That by the choice of his present designation, he is enabled to inform the public in the very title of his work, of what his name would have made known to few beyond a small circle of friends and acquaintance, that he is " a Clergyman of the Diocese of Oxford, and a Resident Member of the University.'
