Puseyism is on,' of the names by which the ritual- istic movement of the Church of England ami her off- spring is sometimes designated, but it is properly de- scriptive only of the followers of the much-eelel .rated Oxford professor in theology, the Rev. l>r. E. Ik Pusey. Though he was by no means alone in originating the movement to which his name lias been given, the Pusey- ites now form a very different class from that which or- tdkepl alive what is known as the Tractarian movement, and of which we have treated in the art.

The Tractarians advocated the acceptance by the Church of England of the doctrines of Apostolical Suc- cession. Priestly Absolution, Baptismal Regeneration, the Real Presence, the Authority of the Church, and of
Tradition. "Scripture and tradition." says one of the Tractarians, " taken together, are the joint rule of faith" i No. 7«. p. •_'. English ed.). "Consentient patristical tradition. "'says Kehie in hi- St vmons, "is the record of that oral teaching ofthe apostles which the Holy Spirit inspired." By this patristic tradition, which these trac- tarians extolled as an infallible ml erpretat i f Script- ure and te-t of doctrinal truth, they understood the voia of Catholic antiquity, or the voice ofthe theolo- gians ol the Nicene age, o| th, lih century: and yet a majority of them were at one time devoted to the Arian heresy, l-'or example, Froude -ays. "Your trumpery principles about Scripture being the sole rule in funda- mentals, i nau-eaie the word" , i. H3). Thus, having broken .away from the corner-stone of Protestantism, it was easj for them to accept the Romish view ofthe sacraments (q.v.), restoring also the old Romish num- ber of seven i liacl 90), and affirming with the Church of l;, mie that -the sacraments, and not preaching, are
the sources of ill \ i 111- -.race." Says Mr. I», nni-on. "I
understand the Tractarian doctrine ofthe sacraments
to be this:
"I. That man is 'made a member of Christ, the child of God, and an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven,' in and by holy baptism.
'•II. That man 'made a member of Christ, the child of (oid. and an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven,' iii and by holy baptism, is renewed from time to time in holy communion.
"III. That 'a death unto sin and a new birth unto righteousness' are civet, to every adult and every infant, in and by the outward visible si^n ,,r form in baptism, •water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and ofthe Holy OllOSt.'

"V. That the body" and blood of Christ are given to every one who receives the sacramental bread and wine.
"VI. That the gift may be received worthily or unwor- thily, but that it is always received."
" Antiquity," wrote the author of Trad 90, "continually affirms a ckanat intkt sacred elements" (p. 73). Palmer, in hi- Letterto n Protestant Catholic, declared that -the bread and win,- are changed by the consecration of the priest and the operation ofthe Holy Ghost, and become th,- very body and blood of our Lord" (p. 30). ••The table is properly an altar." said their organ, the British Critic, "and altars presume it propitiatory sacrifice" (duly. 1841, p. I'll.* With such views of the sacra- ments evangelical views on regeneration were impossi- ble lor the Tractarians. and tin re need he no surprise that they stigmatized the grand Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone as a "Lutheran heresy." " Whether any one heresy." says the I'liti,; "has ever infested the Church so hateful and unchristian as this doctrine [of justification], it i- perhaps not necessary to
