Excerpt from Few More Words: In Support of No; 90 of the Tracts for the Times

Here, as in our controversy with Roman Ca tholics, the question is not one of principle but of detail; it is not what doctrines are from God, but what are ruled by a certain document. Direct and explicit reasoning then has a far more natural place, and may be admitted with far less suspicion, than on most religious controversies: and this may perhaps be received as an excuse in behalf Of one who, having already written on this particular controversy, is now about to return to it with the hope of making some points more clear than he was able to do in his former publication.

An article in the Edinburgh Review for April, and a pamphlet called the Articles construed by themselves, will afford what may be called the text for the following remarks; which will however extend to some points beyond the range of either of those writings. Indeed, when both parties are really in earnest, and anxious for the truth, and when the subject is one on which, as has been said, more than on most others, direct argument will lead to that truth, it is to be expected that every week will throw light upon the real points at issue remarks thrown out in conversation, or in private letters, as well as in print, will be continually tend ing to make more Obvious to the mind the real difficulties which oppose the reception of what we fully believe to be true, and so will not un naturally augment our hope of being able to remove them. New difiiculties too will be broughtforward: the range Of subjects embraced in the Tract is very extensive; some are painfully struck with one part, some with another; and it is only very gradually that these different impressions find their way to the knowledge Of those who support it.
