faith so founded is the strongest. It is pleasing to 

 see that the only alterations in the edition of 1838 

 consist in spelling Christians with a capital C and 

 the omission of the epithet " wise " as applied to the 

 reformers, an omission more probably suggested by a 

 desire for euphony than by any nascent doubts con- 

 cerning the applicability of the epithet itself.

Or take, again, the constitution of the Church of 

 England. The bishops are the spiritual queens, the 

 clergy are the neuter workers. They differ widely in 

 structure (for dress must be considered as a part of 

 structure), in the delicacy of the food they eat 

 kind of house they inhabit, and also in many 

 instincts, from the bishops, who are their e 

 parents. Not only this, but there are two 

 kinds of neuter workers — priests and deacons ; and o 

 the former there are deans, archdeacons, prebends, 

 canons, rural deans, vicars, rectors, curates, yet all 

 spiritually sterile. In spite of this sterility, however, 

 is there anyone who will maintain that the widely 

 differing structures and instincts of these castes aro 

 not due to inherited spiritual habit ? Still less will 

 he be inclined to do so when he reflects that by such 

 slight modification of treatment as consecration and 

 endowment any one of them can be rendered spiritu- 

 ally fertile.
