      information connected with his future pursuits 3 such knowledge as constitutes the proper distinction between the well-educated divine , and the mere pretender to holy orders . In the words of the present Bishop of

      Peterborough , * ' the main difference consists in this , that while the unlearned in divinity obtain only a knowledge of what the truths of Christianity are , the learned in divinity know also the grounds on which they rest . "—Marsh's Lectures , I . 12 .

      Royal Navy . " His object in writW is to call legislative attention to Coronation Oath , " which seems to bind a British Sovereign riot to consent to any alteration in the established

      religion during his reign . If , then , the doctrine of the National Church be vnscriptural , and its worship idolatrous , so they must remain as long as the King is bound in conscience by the letter of his Oath , and possesses means

      of leading the minds of many of his fellow-subjects to an inquiry into the fundamental doctrines of revealed religion .
