About the book >.>.> THE origin of this work goes back to a conversation some four years ago with Bishop Rhinelander of the College of Preachers in Washington. At that time I chanced to remark that it had long been in my mind to make a collection of passages from the ecclesiastical writers of the Seventeenth Century which would set forth the doctrine and dis- cipline-what might be called in a broad sense the genius-of the Church of England in that age of adjustment after the first confusions of the Reformation but that other occupations had compelled me to abandon the project. It seemed to Bishop Rhinelander as it had seemed to me that such a compilation would have value for those concerned with the religious issues of the present day as well as for students of the past. For that reason he asked me to lay the plan before a committee which he called together in New York and which included among others Dean Fosbroke and Professor Gavin of the General Theological Seminary Dean Washburn of the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge Mass. and Dean Ladd of the Berkeley Divinity School.
