In the year 1851, a member of the Tractarian party who had joined the Church of Rome, addressed a note, under a false name, to the Archbishop of Canterbury, requesting an expression of his opinion on the subject discussed in the following tract. The Archbishop's reply, in which he repudiated the notion of the exclusive validity of Episcopal orders, was immediately published, with the view of bringing upon the writer the odium of the Tractarian party. This result of course followed; and the Archbishop was assailed with the rudeness and violence which so often mark the controversies of parties conscious of their weakness. The Archbishop, of course, could not reply to such assaults from such a quarter; but the cause of truth has derived this signal advantage from them: the calling out of the Rev. and learned William Goode, author of the works on the Rule of Faith, Baptism, and the Eucharist.
