On en- tering upon the argument, I presume that the pri- vilege which is claimed as the birth-right of testants, will not be refused to me ; met rO- an the right to interpret the Holy Scriptures according to Jt { take the text as I find it, and think proper to interpret the word first as be- stowing extraordinary privileges, certainly, accord- ing to the principles of Protestantism, i cannot be condemned. Therefore, in starting upon this sub- ject, I find I have, to say the least, as much right to interpret the word first as bestowing upon Peter the superiority,over the other Apostles, as the Protes- tants have to interpret it in any other signification. There could not be a more important su.ject, none my own judgment. more fraught with absorbing interest, than the pro- position which I lay down this evening—that there must be a visible head of the churen ; that visible head isthe successor of St. Peter ; and that that visible head is necessary, in order te the conserva- tion of unity in the Christian Church. can ,be proved that Peter was vested with supremacy over the other Apostles, and if the sovereign Pontiffls are the successors of Peter, it follows that If it the sovereign Pontifis are likewise invested with supreme authority. It be- comes me, therefore, to prove that Christ stowed on Peter the prerogative of supremacy, in the first place; and then the undeniable consequence, that the Roman Pontiff, being the successér of must likewise be invested with supremacy over the whole catholic world. Could there be any subject more worthy the candid and religious enquiry of any people? Could there be any subject more vital- ly interesting at the present period? Could there be any subject more important in this republic, where the Catholics have-been abused so much and so virulently—where so many absurd ideas regarding the supremacy of the Roman Pontiff, and so many calumnies and misrepresentations ‘have been trum- petted forth against this doctrine—where the belie- vers in this doctrine are stigmatized as the subjects of a foreign potentate, and unfit to live in this land of liberty, which is theirs by birth or by adoption. The subject, then, is extremely impertant—and feel- ing all its importance, I will endeavor to put aside excitement, and avoid all declamation, in order to argue theological! Peter, lly this great and most important dogma of the Catuolic Church. In proving the di- vinity of any doctrine of the Christian religon, we have recourse to two methods—the first 1s by apply- ing the test of the sacred scriptures; and as mankind never can, of themselves, agree with regard to the acceptation of the texts of the scriptures, it is neces- sary to have recouree, likewise, to the authority of the fathers of the primitive church. This is the me- thod of proceeding which all trinitarians have re- course to, in orderto prove the dogma ot the divini- ty of Cnrist. if I undertake to prove the dogma of the divinity of Christ, my first process is to have re- course to the sacred Scriptures, trom which I deduce the evidences of his divinity. But as these texts are not satisfactory to those who reject his divinity, then the believer in his divinity must lave re- course to another authority; and that authority is the test of the writings of the ancient fathers. When we have the testimony of the ancient fathers, we accept the doctrine as having been taught by the tes, and destined to be transmitted through all age the end of the worid. 8o it isin regard to the question we are now inquiring into, If | am asked whetner the Catholic churen believes in the supremacy of Peter and te the Pope, | find in the will be disputed by oth roceed firs! reovuurse to the testimony of the primitive church, see or the early tathers taugnt this doctrine. we find this to be true, then wer But before I enter on the first argument, | betore you the authority of one ofthe most il mine whatever proofs I satisfied in the truth of the dogma of the supremacy of Peter and of the Pope. I prove the proposition, then, first from the Scriptures. to bring justrious, and by all denominations regarded and believed to be ove of the most sincere, of Christian men. The far-famed Mr. Newman, whv lately became a member of the Catholic church, in his recent work ‘ on tho development of Chris- the supremacy of Peter and of the Pope, remarks that after the most mature investiga- tion, siter inquiring into the testimony ct the earliest fa- thers of the church, upon this and all other disputed doc- trines, he discovered that there are far more clear and tian doctrine,” 5] suthorities upon the subj et of the supremacy of the Pope to be found in their writings, than there are to be found on the divinity of Christ. before the Nicene Council, the whole Christian world was distracted regarding that great doctrine. Many of the anti Nicene fathers expressed themselves ambiguous- Jy on the divinity of Christ, and the question was set at rest only by the ‘or (he Continues) ishops assembled in the Niceue Council. But, he adda, there never was the least disagreement in regard te the doctrine of the su- Premacy of the Pope; remacy of th jog which the whole agreed in admitting and that tis ne Po) they Christian But I wil we the fathers spoke world il not pract detain you on the details of this inexhaustible subject for it would require volumes te do it justice. Let us proceed to Scriptural authorities in vindication of this venerable doctrine of the Catholic church. I will call your attention, first, to the 16th cl irom the 18th to the 19th verses: © of St. Mathew, en Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, a Who ‘And the do men say that J, the Son of Man, am? said, Some men say that thou art John, and others, Jeremias, or one of the Prophets. He saith unto them, Bat who MT. swered and said, God. And Je 4 art thou, Simon B. revealed it to thee, but my Father, which also unto thee, That thou art I will build my Church, and thi ihis- rock ye that! am? And Simon Peter an- jou art the Christ, the Son of the liv- wered, and said unto him, Bless- jona, for flesh and biood hath not in Heaven. Hell shail not prevail sgainst it.

Oarpination ann InstaLtatiox.— Mr. Alonzo B. Rich, late of Union Theological Seminary, New York city, was ordained and installed pastor of the Presbyterian with any other sovereign of Eu- uthority over me, as a temporal ir prince. sovereign, has no mo th native country. These fend, if the Pope, or any other temporal severeign, should attempt to interfere with them. Therefore, I do not stand here to vindicate the temporal power of the Pope. He obtained his temporal dominions, however, from who hada right to give them to him. If he extend- ed his hand beyond his patrimony, say not that it was tyranny that induced him thus todo, but rather recog- nise the right which has been recently defended by an joquent sage of our own country. John Qui in a speech delivered on the Oregon question, in the House of Representat! is concession in regard to the power of the ‘and the grounds on which h cised that ir theChristian world. “ All Chi ns, before ys of Luther, so under stood the right; and it was then hell and admitte: all Christian nations, that the Pops wes the repre: tive of Christ on earth.” This dootsine, h las incorporated with the laws of nations time. Therefore, if the Pope exercised power over ot this pt ge was conceded to him by the nd not claimed by usurpation. But with hi: | temporal r, T repeat, we have nothing to do. If it | should degenerate into tyranny over his own people, we would condemn him inthe same manner as we would any other sovereign. The third light in which we view the Pope, is asthe successor of St. Peter. Whether he resides at Rome or Avignon, or whether revolution or chance should drive him to the tea i, he is the suc- cessor of St. Peter, not because he is bishop of Rome, but because he has succeeded to the authority and su- premacy whict. were conferred on the first head of the church—St. Peter. | know thero are terrible ideas en- tertained by the ignorant and prejudiced of this country, who do not understand our doctrine of the supremacy of the Pope; but I know ‘there are many who, although they deny his supremacy, have the courage to vindicate his character in the face of the world. Rev. Mr. John. son, in note, page thirteen, of his excellent discour: on “Church Union,” delivered a short time sinc: —In high party times, in Great Britain, Bisho to} published his work on Prophecy It was his object to ex- | cite, or continue in existence, an hatred of the Bishop of Rome. Hence he gathered all the prophecies which relate to the rise of some future power antagonist to the Church of Christ, and applied them to the Bishop of Rome. This fell in with the vulgar prejudice, and bas been received for truth since. Whoever would see a full refutation of this theory, in all its parts, and an un- iectsbep aged oot to prove its utter fallacy, would do well to “Discourses on the Prophecies relating toanti-Christ in the weno of Daniel and St. Paul, reached before the University of Dublin, 1638, by Jas. . Todd, B. D. Fellow of Trinity College. I have been surprised that this has not been reprinted inthe Un States.” It would be a loss of time, and descending neath the dignity of our subject, to vindicate the succes- ser of Peter against the opprobrious and blaspemous epi- thet of anti Christ. There is another point to which I wish to direct your attention: It is no doctrine of Satholic Church that the Pope is infallible. It is an of faith that he is peccable, like any ot in his individuel Tern liable to We lity of the church ; but no Catho- lic is bound to believe that the Pope, even as hei the church, is infallible. Many scholastics hi deed, taught that the Pope, as the representa’ Christ, cannot err when giving testimony of the doe: trines of the church, should circumstances require it— That he may sin, isan article of every man’s faith—that inned, history will tell—that he may sin, is the of his mortal and misereble condition a of Adam. I know there is a spirit abroad attacking every thing that the Catholic Church inculcates. | know there in a spirit characterizing every thing relating to the Ca- tholic Church as Jesuitical. know that if the Catho- lic errs, there is a penchant to represent hi character for Eugane Sue ; but I know, like’ believe this is the proper place to | try, in what estimate such a defamer should have mentioned a name which, ind hat be ut in this sacred place. Let us see what the Porcign Quarterly Review says of his merits, and fT wi ave you to form your own e 7 opinion, Of this man, at page 207, January, 1646, it says :— To those who are familiar with the popular writings of the generation before the revolution, it is not uninterest to remark the sudden burst of tality which has again overspread Europe.
