as the revival of the abrogated institution of tithes in support of a priesthood , are equally palpable innovations on the temper and discipHne of the Church of Christ ; put these are retained by a church calling itself protesting and reformed , together with some of the most prominent doctrines , particularly those embodied in the forged creed of Saint Athanasius , and enforced on the eonscieriees of Christians under pain of damnation . " u With respect to doctrine , that the reformed Churches still retain much that is in common with the church c bfelieving a lie , ' and « uptm whose forehead was written MYSTERY , * is sufficiently notorious . It is matter of historical and scriptural
investigation ; whether that whteh they retain be not equally foreign to * the simplicity of Christ , * with that which they abandon . "f As to the Lord ' s Supper in particular , Mr . Elton writes , — "A strict Churchman retains a certain undefined sense of the real presence , though he disbelieves the actual translation of the elements . This is the consubstantiation of Luther . On this point the Lord Cobham was arraigned for heresy , as ah unbeliever in the sacrament of the Mass . "
** This is the doctrine of the Church-of-England Catechism , which affirms that * the body and blood of Christ are verily and indeed taken ^ atid received by thejhithful in the Lord ' s Supper .
