Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome's Tribute to Anglican Orders: A Defence of the Episcopal Succession and Priesthood of the Church of England, Founded on the Testimony of the Best Roman Catholic Authorities I was, however, careful in a foot-note to show that the words were given on the authority of Mr. Saunders Dyer's quotation only. I, of course, merely produced Mr. Humphrey's words for what they might be worth, in no way setting forth that I attached any special importance to them. I have just received from Mr. Humphrey a little tract called Dishonest Controversy, in which he attacks me with much acrimony about the passage; but, for reasons best known to himself, ignores my foot-note. To his own work I had not had opportunities of direct access, and I had no reason to believe that the above-mentioned utterances of Mr. Dyer respecting the passage were dishonest. I can only conclude that Mr. Dyer had not noticed certain other passages to which Mr. Humphrey now refers in his little tract - passages which express contempt for the idea of any true continuity in the English Church. In them, by his own showing, he heaps insult on the Church and ridicules her clergy. Under the circumstances, I can quite understand Mr. Humphrey's annoyance that an impression arising from the indicated passage, meant more than he intended to imply; and I am sorry if I have seemed unjust in accrediting him with a larger measure of kindly sentiment respecting the English Church than he claims to possess.
