Excerpt from The Proposed Ecclesiastical Legislation: Three Letters to "the Times," (Reprinted by Request); With a Preface

I need hardly say that the following letters arose in no wish, that the. Present confusions in the Church of England should be prolonged. No one, I think, could wish it, who has at heart the well-being of the Church, or of souls in it. But the confusion itself is not the chief evil. The greatest evils, whether in the physical or moral system, are almost always those which least come to the surface. Consumption or paralysis often give little threatening, until they are incurable.

The evils most to be apprehended from the conti nuance of the-present state of things, I think, are 1. The silent dislocation of the different orders of the Clergy; 2. The preparation, not for a disestablishment of the Church only, but for its disintegration, when disestablished.
