to rejecting utterly and cursing bitterly, as well the name as the principle of Protestantism, they eulogise the Church of Rome because forsooth ‘she yields,’ says Newman in his Letter to Jelf, ’free scope to feelings of awe, mystery, tenderness, reverence, and devotedness;’ while we have it on the authority of Tract 90, that the Church of England is ’in bondage, working in chains, and (tell it not in Dublin) teaching with the stammering lips of ambiguous formularies.’  Fierce and burning is the hatred of Dublin Operative Association Christians to Popery, but the reader has seen exactly that style of hatred to Protestantism is avowed by Mr. Ward.  Both sets of Christians are quite sure they are right:  but (alas! for infallibility) a third set of Christians insist that they are both wrong.  There are Papists or Roman Catholics who consider Protestant principles the very reverse of true and undeniable, and treat with derisive scorn the ‘fictitious Catholicism’ of Puseyite Divines.

Count De Montalambert, in his recently published ’Letter to the Rev. Mr. Neale on the Architectural, Artistical, and Archaeological Movements of the Puseyites,’ enters his ‘protest’ against the most unwarranted and unjustifiable assumption of the name of Catholic by people and things belonging to the actual Church of England.  ‘It is easy,’ he observes, ’to take up a name, but it is not so easy to get it recognised by the world and by competent authority.  Any man, for example, may come out to Madeira and call himself a Montmorency, or a Howard, and even enjoy the honour and consideration belonging to such a name till the real Montmorencys or Howards hear something about it, and denounce him, and then such a man would be justly scouted from society, and fall down much lower than the lowness from which he attempted to rise.  The attempt to steal away from us and appropriate to the use of a fraction of the Church of England that glorious title of Catholic is proved to be an usurpation by every monument of the past and present; by the coronation oath of your sovereigns—­by all the laws which have established your Church—­even by the recent answer of your University of Oxford to the lay address against Dr. Pusey, &c., where the Church of England is justly styled the Reformed Protestant Church.  The name itself is spurned at with indignation by the greater half, at least, of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom.  The judgment of the whole indifferent world—­the common sense of humanity—­agrees with the judgment of the Church of Rome, and with the sense of her 150,000,000 of children, to dispossess you (Puseyites) of this name.  The Church of England, who has denied her mother, is rightly without a sister.  She has chosen to break the bonds of unity and obedience; let her therefore stand before the judgment-seat of God and of man.  Again, supposing the spirit of the Camden Society ultimately to prevail over its Anglican adversaries; supposing you do one day get every old thing back again; copes, letters, roodlofts,
