The Protestant : essays on the principal points of controversy between the Church of Rome and the Reformed : with an appendix illustrating Jesuitism, monachism and popery in America ... cs, he is not at liberty to admitthe truth of this, or of any thing that is dishonourable to his churchat any period of her existence. He dares not say, I am sorry to ac-knowledge that it was so at one period, but such a doctrine is now dis-avowed ; because this would be to admit that his church had beenwrong, which he considers impossible.
