Excerpt from Secession: A Sermon Preached in the Oratory of S. Margaret's East Grinsted, November 18, 1859

Dear Sifters, for this reafon; in this place, in thisnation, in this Church, god has placed you, with work to do for Him; a particular work; His choofing, and not yours. And woe be to him who fays: I wifh to work for god; but in another place, and in another way! I do not, of courfe, mean to fay that one who has left us, has, fimply becaufe he has joined the Roman Church, put himfelf out of the pale of falvation. But I do fay this: that the refufal to do his appointed work here, and doing a fancy duty there, muf't imperil fal vation. Where is the work I gave you to do? Will it be any anfwer to that, to lay: Here is the work I have done, which I thought was better and prettier?
