New York MACMILLAN & CO., 66 FIFTH AVENUE OF THE DOCTRINE OF THE EUCHARIST WITH FOUR CHARGES TO THE CLERGY OF MIDDLESEX BY DANIEL WATERLAND, D.D. REPRINTED FROM THE COLLECTED WORKS EDITED BY BISHOP VAN MILDERT (Oxford, 1856) WITH A PREFACE BY THE LATE LORD BISHOP OF LONDON Oxford AT THE CLARENDON PRESS PREFACE THIS volume has been issued at the request of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, with the view of placing within the reach of those who may not be able to procure the collected Works of Dr. Waterland, and especially of candidates for Holy Orders, a treatise which was once considered almost as the text-book of the Church of England on the subject of the Eucharist, but which, in common with many of the works of the great Anglican Divines, has been somewhat cast into the shade by the lapse of time and the rapid issue of modern theological literature, and is, there is reason to fear, far less known at present than it deserves. Though suggested probably, on the one hand, the publication of Mr. Johnson's 'Unbloody Sacrifice,' and by Dr. Brett's Discourse Concerning the Necessity of Discerning the Lord's Body,' and, on the other, by the Socinianising tracts of Bishop Hoadley on the Lord's Supper, 5785 957 (RECAP) |
