Excerpt from A Second Statement of the Real Danger of the Church of England
Still there are times when it seems a duty to speak out plainly, without regarding who condemn or dis approve. Such an occasion appeared to me to have arisen when I sat down to draw attention to the Real Danger of the Church. Much wondering that others, more influential than myself, whether from station or ability, did not raise their voices, still their silence. Seemed rather to impose on me an additional obligation that I should no longer hold my peace.
The result of my first statement has been to a great extent satisfactory. For though it has given rise to the painful circumstances above described, it has at the same time elicited from many quarters s of hearty approval and the strongest sym pathy. Men of weight and high position have borne testimony that the picture which I have drawn of the condition of the Church is not overcoloured; that I have only given utterance to what they themselves have long felt: and I have had the satisfaction of being assured that, though I have used much plainness of speech, both with regard to parties and individuals, I have successfully avoided speaking of any one with bitterness or impropriety. With these encouragements, I feel that in pursuing the same line Of argument, and bringing forward additional proofs of the present danger of the Church, I am not uttering my own thoughts only, but am speaking the sentiments of many, very many, good and excellent Churchmen.
