4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Aged, worn and with spots of discoloration. 106 lines in a truly execrable hand. The following reading is tentative. The recipient is not named and the letter is signed 'T. Outram Marshall'. The letter begins: 'My dear Sir, / I also read the letters in the Guardian very carefully'. There follow references to 'the argument of a pamphlet as to the Teaching of Holy Scripture'. The third paragraph begins: 'But, to my mind the words of the Council of Arles are evidence that in 314 the Bps. there assembled believed just what our Petitioner says.' He quotes a Latin test, and discusses it. There are three long numbered objections. and three assertions are given, of which 'We are convinced'. He discusses what is the case 'If "the High Ch. Party" is not content with the Scripture & the existing Laws of the English & whole western Ch'. He is glad that the recipient does not agree on one point 'with the Bp. of London', 'But if you do not - what remains - you say the husband of this unfaithful wife - has permission to marry again - then it follows that he has permission to dissolve the bond, which till he desides to do so - has not been broken. This is a wholly new theory, which as yet no Bp. East or West has [fulfilled?]. / Forgive my writing this - I want to shew you how very insecure is your foothold'.
