The following Essay was first published in the "Protestant Episcopalian" for November and December, 1830. Its re-publication being desired by "the Trustees of the New-York Protestant Episcopal Press," the author has embraced the opportunity to make corrections and improvements, and to append three additional notes-on the permanent obligation of episcopacy-on the plea of necessity' for departing from it—and on the objection that monarchy, as much as episcopacy, is set forth in Scripture.
Philadelphia, January, 1831.
