Book Description
Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Priesthood in the Church of England Two different views are held of the meaning of the name, and of the character of the ministry, of a Priest. They may be distinguished as the Presbyter, and the Sacerdotal view. As one or other prevails, an entirely different idea of the Church system is the result. On a question important, not merely for its own sake, but in its connection also with other kindred doctrines, especially with the whole sacramental system of the Church, as well as many practical details of the spiritual life, it is of great moment to ascertain what the Church teaches. Our inquiry is limited to the doctrine of the Church of England on the point in question; but inasmuch as the Church of England refers to Holy Scripture, and the early undivided Church, for the groundwork of its judgments, and the meaning, whenever doubtful, of its rules and services, it becomes necessary to extend the scope of the argument, so as to embrace the records of antiquity and the Word of God.
