Lectures delivered during the years 1880-84 in the Chapel of Lincoln s Inn on the foundation of Bishop Warburton. I ts object, as expressed in the Will of the founder, is to prove the truth of re vealed religion in general, and of the Christian in particular, from the completion of those prophecies in the Old and New Testaments which relate to the Christian Church, especially to the apostacy of Papal Koine. From the wide range of subjects thus opened, it was necessary to select one and naturally that, which would most directly meet the present phase of theological discussion, and so best fulfil the purpose for which the Lectureship had been instituted. Not, indeed, that the primary object should be nega tive, either in the defence of Catholic truth from its assailants, or in the refutation of objections brought against it.
