"THE continuity of the Holy Catholic Church in England" is our subject. By the Church in this sense, the Holy Catholic Church, we do not mean a mere creed, a statement of doctrine; we do not mean a mere collection of men and women professing the right doctrine, banded and agreed, living together as a Christian Church, with a common faith and common Sacraments. But we mean a living thing, an actual spiritual existence, a something quite different from a creed, quite different from a collection of men and women,a living, spiritual thing, founded on the Rock which is Christ, drawing its life from Him, the Foundation-stone, the Rock: for "other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, even Jesus Christ"the Church's one foundation.
