Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on Church Government T is an obvious truth, that every community mutt have fome government. This afihres us that the Church of Chrifi, the molt important community that was ever ereeted on earth, is not without one. And to imagine that he, whom God has fet as king in Zion, on whofe {boulders the government is laid, and who is faithful as a fon in all his benfe, {hould not have prefcribed to his church any particular form of government, but left it to the difcretion of every religious fociety to frame one for itfelf, is a fuppofition' too extravagant to be fora mo ment admitted. We may.therefore expee'c to find in the writings of the apofiles and prophets, full informa tion refpeeting the government which Chrifi has infli. Tuted in his church. We are not indeed to look for a plan of government in all its parts drawn up in form. We mull collect it, as we do every thing elfe relating to the kingdom of Chrifl, from various parts of the holy fcriptures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the Church in the First Century: An Essay on the Beginnings of the Christian Ministry The Catholic Church bases her authority to teach and govern on the apostolic succession of her hierarchy. Christ founded a Church, and gave the apostles whom he placed over it certain ecclesiastical powers to be transmitted by them to their successors to the end of time. The ecclesiastical superiors of to-day claim' to teach and rule, not by election or delegation of the faithful, but by a kind of spiritual descent instituted by Christ. In this age of political Liberalism and popular Sovereignty, it is not surprising to find the Church assailed for her oligarchical constitution. Advanced Protestants would have the people supreme in the Church as in the State while the. Modern rationalists would have us believe that our hierarchical jurisdiction is the effect of evolution and the growth of centuries, and that it was unknown and unheard of in the early Church. It is with a View to answering these difficulties that I propose to inquire into the govern ment of the primitive Church, and to Show that its constitution was, in principle, the same in the first century as it is in the twentieth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on the Episcopate of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America In this state of things, the government of the Church in Jerusalem seems to have been exercised by those of the Apostles who might be present in Jerusalem, in conjunction with St. James; in whom it was entirely vested when no Apostle, or no other Apostle, was pre sent. But all the Apostles retained a share of power which they could exercise whenever they were at J eru salem. The Church at Jerusalem enjoyed the presence of the Apostles more frequently than any other Church, and thus acquired a sort of pre-eminence. When an Apostle was present with any Church, he was, for the time, its government. Moreover, on some occasions, the Church at Jerusalem sent forth delegates to take charge of Churches with which there happened to be no Apostle present. Sometimes one or more of the Apostles, themselves, went on such errands, as Peter and John went to Samaria to confirm the converts of the evangelist Philip. At other times, some person was selected who was not one of the twelve; thus, the Church which was at Jerusalem sent forth Barna bas, that he might go as far as Antioch.
