Excerpt from The Student's Handbook to the Thirty-Nine Articles Encouraged by the very favourable reception accorded to the First Edition of this Handbook, at the various Universities of the United Kingdom, by British and Colonial Bishops and their Chaplains, by Candidates for Holy Orders, and by the public generally, the Author has ventured upon a Second Edition, which, for several obvious reasons, has been made to differ in no respect from the first. He, therefore, now repeats what he stated in his former preface, issued exactly two years ago, namely, that this treatise consists for the most part of notes of Lectures delivered at Oxford to those of his pupils who were reading for the Honour School of Theology, the Oxford University Examination in the Rudiments of Faith and Religion, the Cambridge Preliminary Examination of Candidates for Holy Orders, and the Bishops' Examinations. The purport of this treatise is to lay before the student the General History, the Classifications, and the English and Latin Texts of the Articles, to point out Noteworthy Equivalents, and to give, as concisely as possible, the History of each Article, an Explanation of the various Terms employed, Scriptural 'Warrants, the Heresies of different Sects, and some of the principal errors of the Church of Rome. Under the head of Scriptural Warrants the proofs have been collected and arranged as they occur in the Authorized Version. That the bulk, and likewise the price, of the work might not be inconveniently large, many points of minor importance have been omitted. In every case it has been sought to present the precise teaching of the Article, irrespective of any particular opinions.
