O knihe
Excerpt from A Sketch of the History of Erastianism: Together With Two Sermons on the Reality of Church, and on the Principle of Church Authority
To conduct this inquiry with advantage, we must first consider in what Church authority consists. It, resolves itself into two parts-the first relating to persons, the second to things. Since the Church is a society, it belongs to Church authority to give men commission to exercise public functions - the function, 21. E., of ministering Sacraments and Sacramentals. This power depends - first, upon ordination; and, secondly, upon the continuance of the commission bestowed in ordination. Thus arise Orders and Mis sion. Again, it belongs to Church authority to settle what persons shall be allowed to partake in the ordi nances thus administered, i. E., to regulate admission to communion. And further, among those who have commission to minister, some must be selected who shall be presented to the authorizing power for em ployment in this or that 131m. This is the right of patronage. So that the exercise of Church authority has reference to Orders, Mission, Communion, and Patronage.
