The Order for the Burial of

the Dead.

N the debate in the House of Lords, June I, no one of the Lords, Spiritual or Temporal, touched that which is not only the real source, but is the only source of the "difficulty" complained of. It is, no doubt, very much in keeping with the character of the time to deal with great questions of all kinds in their surface aspect, and without reference to the principle, or principles, which underlie them. But that it does any good to anybody concerned, nay, that it does not do harm to everybody, to deal with questions of public policy after this fashion, no man, we presume, will contend. A fortiori, then, it does no good, but it does harm, to deal after this fashion with such a question as is now raised about " The Order for the Burial of the Dead," involving, as it does, some of the deepest principles of the Church's life; and it is certainly a hard thing upon the Church of England that her Archbishops and Bishops should in their place in Parliament come so short of what the Church might reasonably expect at their hands. The Archbishops and Bishops think a great deal of their Parliamentary position, and very little of their Synodical position. The first is right. The last is a mistake; but not an unnatural mistake. Synods have been in abeyance a hundred and fifty years, and are now only struggling into life. Till the mistake is corrected-and the correction is in progress-it is the least we can ask of them, that they make a real use of the Parliamentary position.

In compounding assaults upon the National Church, the first ingredient is a respectable name, with no depth or power about it. The holder of such a name falls easily into the trap, and, because he is "a good man," it is assumed that he has something to say. Those who have pushed Lord Ebury forward, having been defeated, in his person, in respect of a general revision of the Prayer-Book, lay hold now of a pretext, with something specious about it, for revising a part of the Prayer-Book, and instruct him to take up this instead of the other. Their purpose-whether it is his purpose is not the question is to insert the thin edge of the wedge. Now the attempt is bad enough, coming as it does from Churchmen-the attempt itself and the man

ner of it. But there is a thing worse than either; and that is the way in which the Bishops have met both attempt and manner in Parliament. The Church of England suffers much more from weakness in defence, than from violence in assault. This is a truth which many Churchmen, and Bishops especially, have yet to learn. It would be as absurd as disrespectful to suggest that the Bishops do not know what is the true account of this Burial grievance." But as they know it, why do they not state it? Why do they let men go away with the impression that there is nothing more to be said nothing more, that is, vital to the question under debate? It is assumed, not unnaturally, that if there had been anything more the Bishops would have said it but no Bishop said what ought to have been said.

Сс

What ought to have been said is, "The Order for the Burial of the Dead," like other parts of the Prayer-Book, has been framed with express and special reference to "a godly discipline."* It is therefore not intelligible unless this fact is taken into account. When it is taken into account all its meaning is plain at once.

But the meaning of "The Order" having been thus explained, it is urged that the "difficulty" of its use remains. Who has created the "difficulty?" Here, too, the Bishops should have supplied the answer. Churchmen have created it; clergy and laity-the clergy especially-and, among the clergy, most of all the Ordinaries of the Church; in that they have abandoned not only the principles of the Church of England in respect of "a godly discipline," but the only ground which it is possible for a Church to occupy in this particular consistently with its mission and its trust. There is no "godly discipline" in the Church of England.

It would have been also well that the Bishops should have pointed out that the State of England is free from all blame in this matter. That they should have called attention to the law of the case as contained in two Acts of Parliament of the present century, the latest Acts on the subject, 53 George III. c. 127, 2 and 3 William IV. c. 93. Before the passing of the first of these two statutes, there were divers omissions and commissions which made men to be what is termed ipso facto excommunicate: "which, nevertheless," says Gibson,† "is not intended so as to condemn any person without
