THE CHURCH AND NATION BUILDING
Tho following extract may help "C.1 ,, ." to grasp the position of "The Church of England" in mediaeval times and at the,present day:—"From 'The Book of Church Law,' by Rev. J. H. Blunt, M.A., F.S.A., revised by Walter G. P. Phillimore, D.0.L., barrister-at-law and Chancellor of tho Diocese of Lincoln" (page 2). "The 'Church of England" of the present day' is legally, as well as historically, continuous with that of ancient times; that continuity being founded upon a. regular succession of bishops from tho apostolic age, and not being broken by the Reformation. In mediaeval Acts of Parliament it is called by the same name as at present, "'Ecclesia Anglicana" (25 Edw. I, ch., I, A.D. 1297), "L'Engliso d'Engleterre" (25 Ed\r. 111, st. 4, A.D. 1350). It is so called also ik canons passed by convocation, A.D., 1416, and in the Act of Supremacy (26 Henry VIII, ch. I). It is part of the "One Catholic and Apostolic Church" named in tire Nicene Creed. ' The "Church of Home" was never recognised as having any locus standi in England in mediaeval times, all acts of papal jurisdiction in England being referred to as those of the foreign Court of Romo ("la court do Rome," 25 Edw. 111, st. 4; Ric. 11, st. . 2, ch. 2).—1 am, etc., ANGLICAN., January 11, 1917. ,
