Wtomutti ^ ii ? jrtisJandcteviires were had and rnoved , wherein mention was , by an * itfgfetetitv made of matters touchbrg heresies ^ and erroneous sects . It \ vasf spoken and reported by one bishop th ^ re being present , and confirmed by a gQod number of the same bishops , in presence of all the lords
spiritual : and temporal then assembled , that two of the said bishops were minded and desired to repair unto the University of Cambridge , for examination , reformation and correction ^ of ' such errors as then seemed , and were reported to reign among the students and scholars of the same , as well touching the Lutheran sect
and opinions , as otherwise : the . Lord Cardinal informed of the good minds and intents of the said two bishops in that behalf , expressly inhibited and commanded them in no \ vise so to do . By means whereof the same error ( as they affirmed ) crept more abroad , and took greater place : saying furthermore , that it was not in their defaults that the id
s ^ heresies were not punished , bnt hi th 6 said JLord Cardinal ; and that it was no reason any blame or lack should be arrested [ imputed ] unto them fop this offence . Whereby it evidently appeareth , that the said Lord Cardinal , besides ail his other heinoiis offences , hath been the impeacheT and disturber of due and direct correction of heresies ; being highly t 6 the danger and peril of the
whole body and good Christian people of this your realm . " Herbert . A 740 . p . 228 . 1 find nothing of this in Burnett , not have I met with it elsewhere . Unfortunately , the time is not mentioned when the Cardinal was supposed thus to shelter from punishment these Cambridge heretics . " Tbere was one John Taverner , organist of Cardinal College , Oxford , at its first
erection in 1525 , who being suspected t > f heresy , fot hiding Lutheran books in his music school , was excused by Cardinal Wolsey . " I quote this ft ^ m Dr .

. wrn con rrrp pj inViHD bra rns ** Answer a fool according to his folly , left he be wise in bis own conceit . " Prov * xxvi . 5 . HAD my much learned antagonist been candid in his criticisms on my pamphlet , the iC Discourse on Sacrifices ; " had he given his name and title to the same , which , as a man of learning , he ought to have dotte ; it would then be my duty in
answering , to treat him in return with due respect . But , having withholden his name from the public , and advanced his criticisms anonymously , and supported his arguments with scurrilities , I do not find myself bound
to speak with any peculiar degree of moderation : and if it will not much affect my obscure antagonist , it may at least be of some advantage to the Editor of the sacred Evangelical Magazine .
In the above-mentioned Magazine ( page 23 ) is a Review of- " -A Discourse on Sacrifices . By Solomon Be > ni > ett , " &c . •« The design of this Discpurse ( it is said ) is to refute the doctrine : of atonement for sin by the sacrifrce and death of the Messiah . With this view the writer , who describes himself' as one of the House of IsTael , undertakes to
prove , Jirs . t , that the patriarchal sacrifices were not expiatory , or offered with any reference to atonement-of sins ; secondly , that the shedding of animal blood was not necessary to the remission of transgressions under the law ; thirdly , that the commands relating to sacrifices were merely < 5 ereinoniaL local and temporary . The
conclusion he wishes to establish from these premises , is , that the doctrine of atonement for sin by the sacrifice and death of the Messiah , is not countenanced b y any part of the Old Testament . But of all the attempts that have been made to impugn this doctrine , we remember no one more feeble
than the present . " It is impossible for me consistent with the design of your publication to quote the whole of my ** lJiseota . FSf ;" yet 1 shall repeat the drift of it >\ tMth announcing the authorities from Se ^ ip-\ Xkve Whioh my ambiguous antagonist
