Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Remedy for the Evils of the Age: A Charge to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Lewes, Delivered at the Ordinary Visitation in 1849; With Notes, Especially on the Educational, Matrimonial, and Baptismal Questions Were there no centripetal force, the centrifugal would drive all the elements in an endless, atomical chase through infinite space. Were there no centrifugal force, the centripetal would condense all things into a leaden mass of inertia. A like play of manifold Opposite forces is requisite to the life and harmony of the moral world. This was felt to a great extent by those who directed the course of our Reformation, though perhaps they them selves would have misinterpreted their own principle into a desire of preserving a Via Media. A Church ought to be comprehensive, throwing open its gates freely to all forms of true Christian thought and life: but it ought not to be compromising, or temporizing, or indifferent, or luke warm, a juste milieu between hot and cold. For of such a Church the Lord declares, that He will spew it out of His mouth. This true principle of our Church the Court of Appeal has rightly apprehended, and has framed its deci sion accordingly. Let none exult in that decision, as in a triumph gained over their adversaries. To regard our brethren as adversaries is contrary to Christian love and, even if it were not, no triumph has been gained by those who agree with Mr Gorham. All that has been ruled, is, that their views are not absolutely incompatible with the ministerial ofice in our Church. On the other hand, they who maintain the universality of Baptismal Rege neration, may well be content with the acknowledgement that their doctrine is manifestly that of the Church; although it is pronounced not to be laid down in such a definite, dogmatical manner, as to exclude all diversity.
