About This Book

The pamphlet argues that a churchman may rightly refuse to support the British and Foreign Bible Society not from opposition to Bible distribution but from concern about doctrinal consequences and parish interference. It contrasts that mixed, interdenominational effort with an older, exclusively church-based society, claiming the latter offers doctrinal consistency, cheaper and more suitable editions, and the additional distribution of Prayer Books and religious tracts. The author warns that mixed societies risk varied interpretations by dissenting groups, which could confuse the unlearned and alter the spirit of the Gospel, and addresses ordinary church members with concise, calm reasons to remain obedient to the Established Church.
