If the Catholica are right, then | the reformation is @ monstrous rebellion agaiust the powers established by God himeelt; but if, on the | other hand, Protestants are right, then it is certain that the Church of Rome is erroneous in the ex- treme. Looking at the subject in this point of view, it becomes a duty incumbent on every earnest and sincere Christian to resort to every means ot disco- vering the truth. Itis inthe fullest conviction of this duty that I appear betore ye this evening. | feel that | must preaeh truth ; wo to us if we keep it cap: tive ; I kuow that truth 18 unpalatable to the world; {know that the world wishes to be flattered. In preaching the truth we must not ve unmindful of charity ; charity has bewitching charms ; the great apostle of the nations tells us that truth without it, is in our mouth but an empty sound. — [tis a melan- choly fact, my friends, that there are very important controversies of faith between christians. Now, how are those controversies to be decided? ‘The protestants say they are to be decided by the serip- tures alone. The catholic denies this, and says, “Shear the church.” ur doctrine on this point will enter into the subject of this lecture. ‘The subject is, ** Are the holy scriptures the rule of faith and the judge of controversy ?” Here you observe that two things are to be considered ; the judge, and the rule —we call him the judge who pasees sentenee and de- eides between the liugating parties. We call the rale that according to which the judge decides. lam here to show ye in the first place that the holy scriptures are not the judge ot religious controversy,and second- ly that they are not the svle and only rule of faith — My reason tells me that scripture cannot be a judge of controversy. It tells me that a judge of any controversy ought to decide in such way xs to enable the contend Do the scrip. away / ot. How do I know ! My experience tells me that the scriptures do not decide in u cleur and perspicuous manner. The Lut and the Calvinists have been divided on the points, first : i ad, the real presence o! aud, 34, on predestination. Both parties have appealed riptures as the only judge of controversy scriptures devised 7 ‘ney have not; for we fiud them as mach divided as ever on t I have stated. Now, seeing that both Luth i t that tho holy scriptures are capable of gi »aclear, and Un@uivecal decision on controverted points, am I not justified, on view of their long and con- tinued dissension, to diaw ove or the other of the fol lowing conclusions ?- First, either the scriptures have not, and cannot give a clear and {ull decision of the con troversy; and, secondiy, if it have, the Lutherans, or nisté are contumacious and ditobedient. In the second epistle of St Pauito the Corinthians, 8d chapter and 6th verse, I read the following words :—" The letter kilieth; the spirit vivifieth.” The obvious meaning of the apostle is, that a siavish adherence the letter of the sacred scriptures, will often lead us into the most baleful errors; and thet sn adherence to their meaning and import, will greatly promote our spiritual welfare It onsolation to know thet I am sustained in this interpretation, by the greatest light of Christian anti- quity. St. Augustine, in bis 79th sermon, De tempore, ia allusion to the words above quoted, says—‘that the ‘letter’ killed the Jews; and also the heretics, who says the saint are like 2 body, without a quickening it” The letter Killed the Jews, who, as St Paul ays, inthe 1éth verse ot the chapter above quoted, * have a veil over their hearts, even to this day, because they do not know Christ,” who is hidden under the Jewish sacrifices and ceremonies, as under a veil ; and because they adhere to these externals they do not lift up the veil, and see what it covers The letter killed tue heretics. Let us open ecclesisstical history, aud it will show us the Saballians asserting that there are not three persons in God. They say that God is called father, because he created all things; (nat he is called the son, because he assumed human na ture in the womb of the Virgin Mary; that he is called the Holy Ghost, because be sanctilied us, and all this trom a literal interpretation of the text found inthe 10th chapter of St. John, * The Father and I are one,” contra sy to the interpretation ,of the church, which teaches thet they are one in essence, and three in persons. The letter kitledthe Arians, who asserted that the Son was not equal to his Father, adkering to his text, found in John, L4th chapter, 28th verse: “The Father is greater (ban J,” contrary to the interpretation of the church, which says that the Son is not equal to the Father, con- sidered im his human nature, but that he jsequal to the Father, considered in his divine nature, he himself hav ing said, * The Father and | are one.” ‘Tho letter killed the Macedonians, who denied the divinity of the Holy Ghost irom this text, lat Corinthians, 2d ‘chap , 10th v., ‘The spirit searcheth all things.” From these words agued thus—he that searcheth, seoketh; he that neeketh, dunbteth; he that doubteth, i ignoran is igaorant, is not God; therefore tue Holy Gh God, The interpretation of the church is, that the Holy it sees and knows all things; and she points to the im, iu which God is represented as the searcher Somo very ancient heretics denied the resur- ith Pi of heart: rection of the body, on the strength of the words of the Redeemer, recorded in the 6th chapter of the Gospel uacording to St. Jobn, “ The flesh profiteth nothing.” If the flesh profit nothing, why say that it will rise again? Calvin urged the same text aguinst the real presence of Christ’s body in the Eucharist. If bis flesh profi thing, said Calvin, why give it to usin the Euch We all acknowledge that the ancient heretic wrong—and we say that Calvin's interpretation is also wrong, for this simple reason; if Calvin be right, then we eun ask, why did Christ assume human nature? Why did he suffer for us inthe flesh? This simple obse tion shows you more forcibly than any accumulated r marks, that we must look fur another interpretation of the text, beside that which Calvin aud his followers give ‘Those examples are sufficient to show, and to con- vince the sincere enquirer after truth, that the Scrip- tures, considered in their letter, are not, and cannot be, 4 judge of controversies of faith. But what say ye of the Scriptures, considered in their import or meaning? } say that in this point of view, they cannot be a judge of controversy. Why? Becaure the controversy is often about their own meaning, which is obscure, and if so, how can they give that clear and unequivocal deci- sion which is expected from a judge of controversy. But we are told that the scriptures are clear, and that if any obscurity be found in one text it is dispelled by the per- spicuity of another. ‘This is what our opponents call con- terence of plac But if this be the case, why is there sot an end to their own controversies? There is a wide fence, my friends, between the grammatical perspi- \ id the theological meaning of the sacred writings Nothing can be more perspicuous than the grammatical perspicuity of the text, This ismy body,” and we all know the numberless controversies that have grown out of this text. In the Gospel of St. Mathew we read that Mary Magdalene came tothe sepulchre whilst it wa dark. And in the Gospel of St. Mark we rei oe fet came to the sepulchre when the sun ha ready risen, Now, nothing can be more roundl clearly expressed than these distinct narrations o} evangelists, considered in a grammati fe +f or the sense; but I if the theologi- r of the sacred es which to his n, very clear, but which to another are not cl leave it to your own common sense to ka cal sense be so very evident. The read volume will meet many ; tually endured the torments of hell by his sufferings on the cross, when he exclaimed, “ My God, my God, why hast thou forsuken me!* He also says that bell moans the gra text ought to be roni thus:—Thou my body in the grave. How are this controversy 7 tee we to reour t Che Scripture di ot cha: it of the Scripture ere still tiv —" Thow shalt net | my soul in hell.” This reminds me of what took place atthe Conference of Ratisbene, between tl Jesuit Gretzer and Hailoionner, ' Here we are Jesuit, in nce of the Holy Sefipture: ak—let it say thou, James Gretzer, art cast in thy se, and thou, Hailbronaer, hast won it. Let it say this ond | am satisied—but if it cannot say this, how canst thou that it is a judge of our con- troversy.” And he goes on to say that no criminal has ever dared to apply with confidence to a judge by whom be knew he would certainly be condemued. But all heretics have confidently appealed to the Holy Scrip- tures because they could not be condemned by the Ho! if Scriptures. If we look narrowly into the case we shall find that there are many texts whose orthodox meaning cannot be decided by the Scriptures themselves. Take the text found in the 28th chapter of St. Matthew, ‘Go teach all nations, baptizing them in the namo of the Father 8 y of baptism from this text, and also the Seosssity on the part of the minister of baptism to | pronounce the names of the blessed Trinity, otherwise | the baptism would be invalid. But if a person were to atart up and say that Christ never commanded the mi- nister to use this form, I baptise thee in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, and that deduce the nece: MORNING, D Sermon by the Very Rev.

Between them and us there | is a controversy concerning the deutero-canonical books f the Old Tostament. They reject those books on the uthority of the Synagogue. On this rejection | shall make bit two remarks, first, that it does not accord well with the fitness of things, for a Christian to run from the authority of the Church of Christ to the Synagogue. And secondly, by so doing the Protestant loses bi: for he runs from the Scrip- be the only judge of contro- the Jowish synagogue. | now to the consideration of the secoad point, viz :— Scriptures the sole rule of faith ? Protestants po- sitively assert that they are. The Cutholic asserts that they ot, and says that Scripture and tradition ar ristian’s rule of fai Here, you will ask, wha the Catholic means by tradition? Inthe churoh there are three kinds of tradition. The first is divine tradi- tion, and this regards what the apostles, as preach the divine word, have taught, but have not com to writing. Second, there are apostolic: which regard th th of \he church, have instituted for the good of administration of the sacraments, and the maintenance of order, such are the Lenten fast, and the ob: the Lord’s day. ical tradition regat things which the chief pastors of the church have insti- tuted from time to time, such as the observance of cer- tain feasts and fasts. From this explanation you can see that the Catholic holds that the Scripture is not the whole word of God, but that there is also an unwritten word of God which’ is equally as binding on Christians asthe written word. The Protestant asserts that the Christian is bound by nothing but the written word, and that it cannot be asserted what those divine and sposto- lical traditions are. ‘To prove that there is an uowrit- ten word of God, which binds equally with the written, the Catholic refers to the 2d Tnessalonians, 2d chap., “Hold the traditions which you have received by word or by ourepiatle.” Ifall were written, would St. Paul have used this language? If all were written, would St. John, 2d Ephesians, 12th ohapter, hnve said, “ Having other things to communicate, | did not wish to commit them to writing.” St. Peu!, Ist Corinthians, Ist chap., says, “Tho other things I will arrange when I shall come.” If all were written, would he have spoken thus. In the 11th chap. Ist Ephesians to the Corinthians, he po- sitively praises the Corinthians for having observed the traditions which they received. The reader of eccle- siastical history will’ find it stated that Eusebius, in his Evangelical demonstration, says the apostles actually concea.ed some of the mysteries of the Christian reli- ion from those whom they considered faith, and that they communicate c to those to whom they could be entrusted, and that this is gathered from these words of the apostle— “we speak wisdom to the perfect.” By rejecting tra- dition we contradict the wisdom even of Pagan an quity. “Tully, in his book on law, says that mor precepts and rules of eonduct are more effectually sown in acommonwealth by custom and usoge, than by written laws.” Isocrates in his letter to Philip of Macedon, says, “that the oracles of the mind are more powerful to persuade than written maxims.”’ The people of England and ofthis country, subscribe to this truth vy adhering to the common law, which is nothing but tradition; and by holding it up a6 the very embodiment of human wisdom. The great lights of Christian anti- qnity have also taught us the necessity of admitting and deing governed by tradi St. Chrysostom, comment- ing on the words of St quoted, Tis ust be g by tradition, seeing that the apostles did not wi thing.” St. Epiphanins, Bishop of Sallamnis, in Cyprus, who lived in tho fourth century says, “the Christian must hold to tradition and Scripture.” St. Basil in his book on the Holy Ghost suys, ‘we establish some of our doctrines by Scripture and some by tradition, for the apostl e not written everything.” Say then, i dispassionate moments, if we are to and deluded creatures for not abandoning the great ligh' of Christian antiquity,for the iguus fatwus of the reforma- tion? But how can it be said that tradition is as binding as the Holy Scripture? Because itis the word of God What! tradition the word of God? Yes, divine tradition is the word of God, but the written word alone is justly called the word of God. Tradition has as good a right to called the word of God, andwhy ? ‘The written word is called the word of God, because it is inspired; but divine tradition is inspired, therefore sé the word of God. Now, what difference, in point of obliga- tion, can there be between the written word of God andthe unwritten word? We can see no difference.— What the apostles, who wrote, have taught, is held to be the word of God, and what the apostles, who did not write, have taught, is also the word of God, because they were inspired, and between their respective teachings, no Christian will have the temerity to xssert that there is any difference in point of au- thority. Without this divine tradition, we should know nothing of the inspiration of the Holy Scrip- tures. On the authority of this tradition alone we keep the first day of the week holy, instead of the seventh; reject this divine tradition and the whole Chris. tian fabric tumbles to the ground. How can those divine d apostolical traditions be knowa ? St Angustine gives we the following rules. The first is found in his fourth book on baptism-—“ That which the universal church doth hold, and which has not been invented by any council, and which it still holds, is justly believed to have descended to us from the apostles.”” “The second is found in his book against the Donatists, that which they who went before us have found to exist in the church and not to have been instituted after the age of t (es, such practice is justly considered ‘The common objection which is urge is taken from the Second Epistle of St. 3d chapter, “ All scripture divinely insp teach, &e., &c.” therefore, the scriptures are a rule of faith am willing to grant, if! could bring myself to believe the word useful, means all sufficient bnt as 1 cannot believe this I must tako leave to sta: whore | am, and to say that the Scripture is not a full rule of faith, But in adhering to tradition, you disobey Christ, see St. Matthew l5thchap., you also disobey the apostles; see the Colossians, 2d chapter; see Peter Ist ep, Ist chap These texts would sound well in a conyenticle against the Priests and the Romans. Christ is snid to have re ditions, but did Christ reprobate the Mosaic ry traditions of the Synagogue, by which alone she could have known the divine authority of the Books of Moses and his divine legation? But Chris probated traditions, he did. He reprobated the false traditions of the Pharisees, by which they corrupted the law and seduced the people from the truth. tra ditions are familiar to the reader of the New Testament, they are called deuteroses, and some of them are found in this 15th chap of St. Matt., which is objected again: ug; for example, the Ph a taught that it w not lawful to eat with unwashed hands; they also taught that the neglect of parents by their children could be atoned for by some gift to Almighty God. They taught that to swear by the temple end the altar was no n, but to swear by the gold of the Temple was, accord. ing to their teac! a grievous sin. Such were the tra- ions which Christ condemned, and not the divine t ditions whieh I have already alluded to. St. Paul condem- ned the sophisms of the pagan philosophers, and St. Peter the superstitions of the Geutiles, from which the gospel haddelivered us. They certainly did not condemn di- vine and apostolical traditions. But in holding to tradi- tion, do we not accuse the Scriptures of insufficiency 7 We say that they are nota full rule of faith, and this we have proved. 'e say that the Scriptur 0 far as they go, ate a perfect light to our feet, and a perfect rule of faith, when we follow the lines of tolic interpreta- tion as given by the Church of C Wo say, they are a Jaw, and as every law, human i authoritative inter tuted judges, that they have not been the rule of faith and judge of controversy are accused of putting the Church over the Scriptur The Church is over the Scriptures, in the that the judge, who sits on the secular bi law; but.as this judge is not above th stitution he interprets, neither is the the Scriptures. | now retort the argumen’ Protestants, in rejecting divine and apos' resist the Scriptures; they resist St. manded them in the persons of the The: hold fast the traditions which they re ther by word, or by hi tle, “But th admit them if they knew t! .

After the decision of the chure! no doubt was entertained concerning the genuine Sori, tures ; and when the Church decides on the divinity and apostolicity of tradition, ell doubt must vanish. If we look into the economy of revealed religion, we find that it 1s necessarily based on testimony. The patriarchal religion was transmitted by testimony for the space of 2600 years. When Moses added his religion to the patri archal, he himself was a witness to his cotemporari and they, again, were witnesses to their ch’ posterity : their ceremonies, their sacrific vals, were also speaking witnesses. When he appeared ana witness {rom heaven. John proclaine: himesel! as @ witness for the ‘true light ;” and Christ said to his apos' “Yo shall be witnesses of me in Je- russiem, in Judea in Samaria, and even to the utte: parts of the earth.” The Christian system is a ser facts, in some measure.

Mark now the reasoning of our adversaries. They know the inspira- tion of the scriptures from the pr: rit, and they know the authority of the private spirit from the scrip- tures; this is moving in the circle with a vengance, and I must say that whilst | admire their oredulity, | despise their logic. The reader of the old testament knows that all religious controversies in the old law were decided | by the high priest and council, Here Tan refer ye to 17th chap. of Deuteronomy, 6th verse. “Ifthou perceive that there be among ye a hard and doubtful matter, thou shall come to the priest of the Levitical race, and to the judge that shall be xt that time, and thou shalt ask of them and they shall show the truth of the judgment and thou shalt follow their sentence; neither shalt thou de- Cline to the right hand nor to the left. In the 2d of Pan- lepomenon, 10th chap. and 10th verse, we have un epi- tome of the questions to be decided by this tribunal; they were concerning the law, the commandments, the cere- nd the justifications. How this was understood wa themselves we know from Josephus in his He tells us that the high priest . Lallude to this eco- decided all controver nomy of the old law 10 show the analogy exists between itand the new. In the new we find t! all controversies of faith have been decided by author: ty from the very beginning, even the first controversy with regard to cucumcision was decided by authority. q jent here were condemned by authority — and let it not be suid thet this authority was usurped by the church, for both Luthe: 4 Calvin admitted that nd Macedorius and Nestoriu justly condemned. And in our dispa: must admit that they never would re been condemned or silenced had not the church interposed her authority How, for instance, could Nestorius have been condemn- ed by the Scriptures alone, when he bossted that he had no léss than sixty places of Scripture to prove his heresy of the existence of two persons in Christ! This heres. condemned by the general council of Ephe: in tae year 454, under Pope Celestine. Strange to say im lionized in this country in the ishops, by those whe look on the the only judge of controv I do not t ity isa noble and Christ virtue, ond | admire it wherever | find it. But 1 do con- demn that fraternization which is founded on a contempt of the Church of God, and that indifferentivm which would cover a condemned beresy under the chii advantage of distributing the Holy Scriptures, wi note or comment, among the Nestorians. I call th vantage chimerical§ Query—will not the Nestorians still find in those Scriptures the sixty texts of their foauder? I notice this economy of the Jewish church also, in order to meet an objection which is brought against us, from the words of Isuias, Sth chapter, ‘To the Jaw and tne testimony ;” here we are told that we are referred to the law and to the testimany, as the Jews were, but I have shown that the Jews were obliged to yield to authority, and to the authority of the high priest, in their religious controversies. By refer- riug to this 8th chapter of Isaias, we shall see that Issias told the Jews that they were not allowed to have re- course to Pythonesses for a knowledge of future events ; aud to show that they were prohibited {rem so doing, be rejerred them to the law of Moses ; and that in order to know future events, he referred them to the testimony of the Prophets, who were specially appointed by the Almighty. The argument is, the Jews were pre- vented from consulting witches—therefore, the scriptures are a full iule of faith, end judge ef controversy. Verily, they who would thus inter- pret the sacred writings are blind, and leaders of the blind. | now come to the two words, which ho- nest old Selden said * undid” the world—* Search the scriptures.” John, Sth chapter. From these words the biblicals infer that the Scriptures are the sole and udicient rule of faith for Christians. Let us refer to this chapter, and se will justify this conclusion. In this chapter, Christ disputed with the Jews, who denied his divinity. He refers them, in the first place, to the testimony of Jobn the Baptist ; in the second place, he refers them to the testimony of his own miracles, and in the third place, he refers them to the testimony of his Father ; an it, knowing their attachment to the Scriptures, , search the Scriptures, for thoy also gi of me.” Now, we maintain that the whole chapter militates against our adversari who say that the Scriptures alon to be consult seeing that our Divine Redeemer referred to other te: monies beside the Scripture. In our manner of arguing, weimitate our divine Lord; we refer in proof of our doctrine to tradition, the practice of the Church and to the Holy Scriptures, whereas our adversaries refer to the Scriptures alone, hereby imitating the conduct ot the Jews, who sinned against the known truth. In view of what [ have said, we have just reason to complain of the awful calumny’ that is constantly put upon us, by saying that we are hostile to the Sacred Scripture: Our efforts are invariably directed towards rescuing thom from the sneer of the infidel, and the abuse of the fanatic. When I kiss the Holy ‘Scriptures before my congregation, will it be said that I despise them? When | incense them in public, will it be said that I hate them? I leave it to the if Catholics do not pay sacred word. Ps respect, for we cannot bear to see it tossed up and down through a pub- lic school room. When we read it in public, we it through respect on the face of a man, w! others place it against the backof an eagle and wings of brass. Considered in its meaning, we pay it poneenepett for we take its meaning from the Churchof God, e and the ground of truth, and not irom our own private sense. ‘This private sense is the well spring of every error, the fountain of bitte: and the root of dissen- sion. Tertullian, many ce: ago, said that what was lawful to Valentinus, wae lawful to the Valen- tinians. We say that what was lawful to the'Protes- tants, was also lawful to the Presbyterians. As it was in tho days of Luther, so it is in our days. He com- plained that there was notan ass in his time who did not wish to have the reveriesof his own mad brain received as the dictates of the Holy Ghost. And what a pretty reformer he must have been to have opened the door to all this wild disorder and confusion. I shall now con- clude this lecture g ye the sentiments of the church concerning Scriptures. “If you wish to know the wonders of creation, and the progress of man- kind, read Genesis, If you wish to know how the an- cient people of God were governed, read the Judges.
