Pagina i - William Palmer was one of those earnest-minded and devout men, forty years since, who, deeply convinced of the great truth that our Lord had instituted, and still acknowledges and protects, a Visible Church — one, individual, and integral — Catholic, as spread over the Earth, Apostolic, as coeval with the Apostles of Christ, and Holy, as being the dispenser of His Word and Sacraments — considered it at present to exist in three main branches, or rather in a triple presence, the Latin, the Greek,...
Pagina 158 - God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation he that feareth God and worketh righteousness is accepted of Him.
Pagina 431 - Tartars and by their continual re-incursions, while monasteries had been so much favoured by khans with all kinds of exemptions, had increased the number of monasteries to a very large extent, but with the name of Sergius a new monastic world opens itself in the North. The commencement of his lonely hermitage in the woods near Moscow is a point of as great an importance in the history of Russian Church and state as the excavation of the caves of Antony on the banks of the Dnieper. He, with St. Antony,...
Pagina vi - We know of no true Church besides our own. We are the only Church in the world. The Latins are heretics, or all but heretics ; you are worse; we do not even know your name."

Pagina xix - I ask, and even adjure in the name of Christ, all the most holy Archbishops and Bishops, and especially the Synod itself, that they will examine him as to the orthodoxy of his faith with a charitable mind, and, if they find in him all that is necessary to the integrity of the true and saving faith, then that they will also admit him to communion in the Sacraments.
Pagina 500 - REMARK. — An enlightened interpreter of Holy Scripture is doubtless very desirable for Christians less instructed ; but the idea that, in order to draw from it the Articles of Faith, a certain kind of despotic interpreter is necessary, lowers the dignity of the Word of God, and subjects faith to the will of man. IV. IV. The most authentic texts of the Sacred Scripture, in its original Holy...
Pagina ii - ... the external accident of place. Moreover, since, as has been said, on a given territory there could not be more than one of the three, it followed that Christians generally, wherever they were, were bound to recognise, and had a claim to be recognised by that one ; ceasing to belong to the Anglican Church, as Anglican, when they were at Rome, and ignoring Rome, as Rome, when they found themselves at Moscow.
Pagina ii - Church ; whence it followed that whenever any one of the three was present, the other two by the nature of the case, were absent, and therefore the three could not have direct relations with each other, as if they were three substantive bodies, there being no real difference between them except the external accident of place. Moreover, since as has been said on a given territory there could not be more than one of the three, it followed that Christians generally, wherever they were, were bound to...
