Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Image-Worship of the Church of Rome: Proved to Be Contrary to Holy Scripture, and the Faith and Discipline of the Primitive Church, and to Involve Contradictory and Irreconcilable Doctrines Within the Church of Rome Itself Besides these facts and conclusions, which belong more immediately to the proper province of this work, another inference, which may probably be regarded in the present day as carrying with it matter of no less interest and importance, has incidentally, but in controvertibly resulted from our investigation of the Nature and History of Image-worship in the Church of Rome. Many persons, we are told, have been tempted and persuaded to join the Roman communion by such an argument as this - that among those who are separated from that Church there is no unity, no oneness of faith and doctrine; that among us there. Is as great a variety of opinions, as there is of schools, or even of teachers in religion; so that with us the prayer of our blessed Saviour can never be realised, that His disciples may be one: whereas within the Church of Rome all is unity, one unchanged and unchangeable uniformity in doc trine and practice reigning throughout the world. In that communion, it is asserted, is one faith, one disci pline; and, should ever doubts and disputations arise, they have one infallible ruler and guide in the Bishop of Rome, to whom all must defer, and from whose decision there is no appeal. Many, as credible reports assure us, have been drawn away, by these representa tions, to seek in that Church a refuge from the per plexities, and din, and disturbances of controversy, in the hope of there, at least, finding rest unto their souls.
