NOTE TO SERMON XXV.

THE following Sermon ought not perhaps to have appeared in this Series; and had the Editor taken at first the same view of the subject which—at the suggestion of several of his brethren for whose opinion he has the highest regard-he has subsequently adopted, it would, if published at all, have been published separately. The Editor, therefore, wishes it to be expressly understood that he alone is responsible alike for its contents, and for its appearance here; and he would wish that this notification may be considered as exonerating all the Contributors from even an implied concurrence in the step which, as then advised, the Author felt it his duty to take. The Author would have worked out several parts of the Sermon very differently, had he been in possession of as much private information as has since been made accessible to him; but he believes that when the corrections which the following remarks suggest have been made, the Sermon is one which, under our present circumstances, is not wholly uncalled for; and he could wish that all to whom the Church of England has in late years been so much indebted, may be preserved from that adoption of the practice of other Communions which seems to partake more or less of the "willworship" condemned by the Apostle.

The remarks to which the Author alludes are those which accompanied the Sermon in its monthly issue, and which are now reprinted, because the Author has still further and better evidence of the need there is that he should be grieved at having appeared to suspect the steadfastness of the allegiance of one who, he trusts, will long continue to be an ornament to the Church of England.

Since this Sermon was printed off, the Author has reason to think it necessary he should warn his readers against supposing that his cautions were the result of his being in the private confidence of the distinguished and excellent men to whom he has so prominentlybut he hopes humbly-alluded. With respect to that respected divine, concerning whom he affirmed, that the rumours which called forth the Sermon were "less confidently" uttered, he rejoices to be informed, that such rumours have not even the semblance of foundation; and he sincerely regrets that he should have appeared to give them credence as possibly true.
