Excerpt from An Answer to a Late Pamphlet, Entitled, an Examination of the Scheme of Church Power Laid Down in the Codex Juris Ecclesiastici Anglicani, &C: Shewing the Unfair Representations and Groundless Reflections Made by the Author of That Pamphlet After that, Era/in: advanced a more general Notion, That where the Civil Power became Chriftian, there was no longer any Authority in the Church; and upon the Publication of his Book, not only the Church of England, but other Churches abroad, took Occafion to ex amine and confute that new Doctrine, by main taining an Authority in the Church, after the State's becoming Chriftian as well as b f076u So that in truth, this Point is f0 far from needing either Explanation or Support, that the Subject is exhauf'ted; and as there was no Occaiion to call for either, fo this Writer had no Right to call for them, becaufe the Introduction to the Codex 8tc. Profefi'edly treats of a meet Human Right as recognized (together with the Divine Right) by' feveral fucce ive Acts of Parliament, and of no other Right. Neither could the Learned Author, with any Propriety, have forfaken his Subject, which was a Legal Right, and fallied out into a Point which did not concern that Subiee't, viz. A Divine Right.
