Tertullian says "The kingdom of Christ was advanced among them (the Britains), and that Christ was solemnly worshipped by them."-Contra Judæos, c. 7. He was a man of too much understanding to expose himself to the contempt of the Jews, by mentioning this as a thing so well known at that time, if the Britains were then known to be no Christians.

He says also" Et Britannorum inaccessa Romanis loca, Christo vero subdita." The Gospel had access to those parts

of Britain whither the Romans had none.

Which doth prove,

that Christianity was then received beyond the wall, but not by the Scots, who were not yet settled in those parts; but by the old Britains, who were driven thither, as appears by the account given by Xiphilin, out of Dio, who saith that the Britains were divided into two sects, the Mæatæ and the Caledonii. The former dwelt by the wall, and the latter beyond them. These were the extra-provincial Britains."-Stillingfleet, 50-52.

Tertull. de Præscr.

Hoc enim modo Ecclesiæ Apostolicæ census suos deferunt."

"The second (scandal) is intended to raise envy against us, as the uncharitable censurers and condemners of those Reformed Churches abroad which differ from our government;

wherein we do justly complain of a slanderous aspersion cast upon us. We love and honour those sister Churches as the dear spouse of Christ. We bless God for them, and we do heartily wish unto them that happiness, in the partnership of our administration, which, I doubt not, but they do no less heartily wish unto themselves.

"When we speak of Divine Right, we mean not an express law of God, requiring it upon the absolute necessity of the being of a Church, what hindrances soever may interpose; but a Divine institution, warranting it where it is, and requiring it where it may be had."-Bishop Hall's Divine Right of Episcopacy, vol. ix. 634, &c. &c. &c.
