Such then, is the formal object of faith, the veracity of God revealing His Truth to us, and not only by an act of revelation eighteen hundred years ago, but also by sustaining His revelation, whole and inviolate, in all its fulness and integrity, through all times, and by proposing it to us by His Divine voice in every age. On this I do not purpose now to dwell, because I hope to do so more fully hereafter. But, inasmuch as in the following sermons I have frequently spoken of the relation of England since the Reformation, to the Church and to the Faith, and inasmuch as the limits of a sermon did not permit me to speak as fully as I desired, and in addressing Catholics it would have been out of season and place to say much, nevertheless, in publishing these sermons to take their fate among objectors and antagonists, it is necessary to speak more at large. I will, therefore, set down, at least in outline, the basis on which the assertions in these sermons rest. The more I have studied the religious and political history of England since the Anglican Reformation, and the more I have observed the currents of thought, the dominant tendencies in English society at this day, the more I have become convinced that the English people are upon an inclined plane. ...
