PREFACE.

Christ Church,
The Feast of the Circumcision of Christ.
- ↑ There are some brief, but valuable notices of the peculiarity of the Church of England in the late Bishop Jebb's Pastoral Instructions, and some striking quotations from ancient divines; domestic and foreign, who have remarked it, as an excellence; so also in Bp. Bull's Apologia pro Harmonia, sect. 1. § 4. ed. Burton.
