Synopsis

Excerpt from Essays Reviews: Their Origin, History, General Character Significance, Persecution, Prosecution, the Judgment of the Arches Court, Review of Judgment

We have heard a great deal lately of the danger of free inquiry, but it inay reasonably be questioned whether the real dangers, which threaten the peace and prosperity Of our Zion, do not arise from another and directly Oppo site quarter - from that spirit of insolent dogmatism which claims to dispense with inquiry, and, substituting reckless assertion for argument, and denunciation for proof, affects an authority which it is forsooth dangerous to question and impious to reject. The fullest and worst demonstra tion Of this intolerant spirit (observes the Bishop Of St. David's) is an eagerness for the making of new heresies, an endeavour to contract the terms Of admission into the Church or its ministry, so as to exclude or disquiet all who do not belong to the favoured party. If such attempts should succeed, it is easy to see the nature, though impossible to measure the extent, of the calamity which would ensue. In the meantime, the contests to which they give rise waste the Church's strength, shake the confidence, and chill the affections, Of her most intel ligent children and attached members, and afford not only matter Of exultation and triumph, but real advantage to her adversaries.
