Excerpt from The Theological Works Of William Beveridge, D. D., Sometime Lord Bishop Of St. Asaph, Vol. 11: Codex Canonum Ecclesiæ Primitivæ Vindicatus Ac Illustratus Eo temerìtatis delira hac nostra aetate deventum est, ut nihil propemodum in ipsa sit religione Christiana, quod non vel privatim in dubium, vel in controversiam publice vo catur. Usque adeo ut ea etiam, quae per multa retro secula, et ah ipsis Ecclesiae primordiis, ubique recepta fuerunt, dog mata ritusque, bisce demum nostris diebus in discrimen veniant, et perinde 0ppugnentur, ac si nos primi essemus Christiani, omnesque majores nostri nudum Christi nomen prae se tulissent, et preeterea nihil: vel saltem ao si in gra vissimis perpetuo erroribus versati fuissent, quicunque divulgatam in Evangelio fidem antehac amplexi sunt. Nimirum novissimis bisce temporibus nova jactantur lu mina, nova ao majora Spiritus Sancti dona simulantur ideoque novae credendi, novae orandi, novae praedicandi, novae omnium ecclesiasticarum administrationum peragendi formula finguntur indies, et celebrantur. Et, quod absur dissimum est, ipsa etiam novitate nihil modo antiquius Babetur, éed quo quid magis novum est, eo pluribus et magis placet et éolicitius pr0pugnatur. Hino illae lachrymae! Hino tot horrenda in Ecclesia sòhismata! Dum singuli enim ingeniis, vel petulantibus potins suis plus nimio indù] Vino. Litin. Adv. Haeres. Cap. Ii. [gall. Bib.pat. Tom. X. P. 103, col. 2, B.
