Used paperback book - as new Excerpt from The Worship of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Church of Rome: Contrary to Holy Scripture, and to the Faith and Practice of the Church of Christ Through the First Five Centuries The Author of the following treatise has been long accustomed to rank the Worship of the Virgin Mary among the greatest of those impediments which keep asunder the Reformed Church of England and the present Church of Rome. Ardently as every true Christian must long for the establishment of harmony and peace, and for the interchange of the various offices of brotherly love, among all members of Christ's Church, he cannot hope to see the realization of his desire with respect to these two Churches so long as that wide gulf remains to separate them. A Church which acknowledges no object of religious worship except the Almighty alone, and recognises no mediator between God and man except only the Lord Jesus Christ, cannot, without a compromise of principle, hold the full communion of Christian wor ship with another Church which confesses the Vir gin Mary to be the ground of a Christian's hope, which offers supplications to her for her intercession, and prays to her for her protection, guidance, and suc cour; which addresses prayers to the Supreme Beingknowledging her to be Queen of heaven and Sovereign Mistress of the world. Recent events seem to confirm us greatly in this view; pointing to the worship of Mary in the Church of Romeas the chief practical barrier between mem bers of the two Churches. To many a wavering spirit has the Church of Rome held out her own communion as the sure, and the only sure, place of refuge, where spiritual doubts cease from troubling, and misgivings have no place; where implicit faith in an infallible guide bids defiance to every assailant, and suffers no disturbing thought to arise, converting the present life of perplexity into a state of tranquillity and peace. Various as are the counteracting causes to prevent the fulfilment of such expectations, none, we are told, are so generally operative, or so insurmountable to a mind that has habitually made God the sole object of prayer, and the Son of God the sole Mediator, as the worship of the blessed Virgin.
