These claims, it is true, are being fast discredited; but still, as yet they have not been silenced wholly; and what I propose to ask now is, what chance is there of their power again reviving.
Now considering the way in which I have just spoken of Protestantism, it may seem to many that I have dismissed this question already.

With the '_enlightened_' English thinker such certainly will be the first impression.

But there is one point that such thinkers all forget: Protestant Christianity is not the only form of it.

They have still the form to deal with which is the oldest, the most legitimate, and the most coherent--the Church of Rome.

They surely cannot forget the existence of this Church or her magnitude.
