which was verbally inaccurate has been made to conform to the original. Of the text, the following portions have been omitted, carrying with them their dependent notes and references. In every instance the omission has been of entire questions and answers, leaving no portion of Dr. Wordsworth's work garbled or mutilated. All the omissions are made for the same reason, that they relate to the connexion of Church and State, and teach the doctrine received among Englishmen on that subject. They are six in number, viz.: 1. Part I. Chapter II. at the end of the chapter, page 29, one question, with its answers and notes, occupying about two pages, on the enforcement of Church laws, by the secular power. 2. Part II. Chapter III. between questions 5 and 6, on page 187, one question, with its answer and notes, occupying about a page and a half, on the supposed power of the government in placing Bishops. 3. Part II. Chapter III., at the end of the chapter, page 190, a question and answer with notes, about Ethelbert, and the rights of his successors, making not quite a page. 4. Part II. Chapter IV., between questions 6 and 7, page 198, two questions their answers and notes, on the royal supremacy, making about three pages. 5. Part II. Chapter IV., at the end of the chapter, page 199, one question with its answer and notes, on the papal and royal supremacy making about a page. 6. Part IV. Chapter 1. in the place now occupied by question xi., page 391, six questions, with their answers and notes on the grounds of the authority of the English Prayer Book, making about two pages. The additions, not including those already mentioned, have been five. Advantage has been taken of the numbering the questions, to distinguish the additions from the original text, by numbering Dr. Wordsworth's questions with the Arabic figures, and those of the Editor with numeral letters. This rule extends to the substituted Part III. and the additional chapter in Part II. Every where the two portions of the work are kept perfectly distinct; whenever the reader comes to a question distinguished by a numeral letter, the original author is absolved from all responsibility, until the Arabic figures re-appear. The five addi- tions are the following, viz.: 1. Fourteen questions with their answers and notes, on the visible and invisible Church, Part I. Chapter II., Questions xvi. to xxix., both inclusive, pages 16 to 26. 2. Fourteen questions on Councils, Part I. Chapter v. Ques- tions iv. to xviii. both inclusive, pages 46 to 55. 3. One question and answer on the use of the Apocrypha, in the American Church, Part I. Chapter VI. Question xv., page 70. 4. Seven questions on absolution as understood by the Ameri- can Church, Part I. Chapter XIV., Questions xii. to xviii., both inclusive, pages 149–154, at the end of the chapter. 5. One question, with answer and note, on the authority of the American Prayer Book, Part IV. Chapter 1.
