PREFACE. 11
men or to clergymen in answering such inquirers, giving
in one volume information which, without this, can be
procured only from many volumes.
Excellent books have been written on different points
in the system of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and
illustrative of its peculiar doctrines and customs, with
very great profit. But, after all, there is no work which,
in a plain, didactic style, develops the entire system of
the Protestant Episcopal Church as it is, which shows
out the whole Church as an existing and operating system of to-day. There is no work which illustrates distinctly the comprehensiveness of the Protestant Episcopal Church, with regard to its adaptation to the purposes of Christian and Ecclesiastical Unity—the Divinely-intended purposes of the one great Catholic or
Universal Church of Christ. These blanks the writer
has endeavored to fill; or rather, he has endeavored to
exemplify, by short precedents, how these blanks may
be filled. It is his impression that a book, upon a plan
similar to this, and better executed, might be useful in
all our parishes, and might be very generally circulated
with much advantage, not only to the Protestant Episcopal Church, but also to the great object of Christian
and Ecclesiastical Unity, which all true disciples of our
Lord have so much at heart—in other words, to the exhibition of the real and chief end for which God's
Church is founded among men.
