{10} Many passages might be quoted from the writings and sermons of the
modern ritualistic school which are identical in doctrine with these

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.

{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.

sin remitted in the ecclesiastical sense.”
