[6] See Hooker, Book v. Secs. 50–56.[10] Many passages might be quoted from the writings and sermons of the modern ritualistic school which are identical in doctrine with these decrees; as, for example, the following passage from the Directorium Anglicanum, where the contrast is drawn between our Lord’s spiritual presence with us in prayer, and Divine and human presence on the altar:—“Our Blessed Lord, still present in His Divine and human nature in the Holy Eucharist on the altars of His Church, still spiritually present at the common prayers.”—Pref. p. 8.[27] Council of Trent, sess. xxii. 2.[29] In the preface to the Directorium Anglicanum it is said,—“And if in the sacrament of the altar some things strike the eye as graceful and beautiful, it is well; but this is not their object. The one aim is to offer the Holy Sacrifice in a worthy manner to Almighty God.”—P. x.[64] Johnson’s definition of the words “To absolve” is, “To pronounce sin remitted in the ecclesiastical sense.”
