Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church of England Vindicated Against Romanism and Ultra-Protestantism: In Sermons Preached and Published on Various Occasions AT the suggestion of his publisher, the Author has been induced to collect into one volume, the Sermons, which, during the last twenty years, he has published from time to time, in vindication of the purest and best reformed branch of the Catholic Church, the Church of England. And this he has done the more readily, since circumstances have occurred, by the defection of some to the ranks either of ultra-protestantism or of popery, which render it incumbent upon Anglican Churchmen to declare Openly that they abide by and are ready to maintain the position of the Church of. England, in the via media between the two extremes: our Church being protestant as Opposed to the abuses and idola tries of Popery, and Catholic as-opposed to the heresies' of ultra-protestantism.
