Butler, Charles, 1750-1832

"With Brief Minutes of the Civil, Ecclesiastical, and Literary History of the Netherlands"

The symbolic book of the SOCINIANS is _The Catechism of Racow_;--the
best edition of it was published in 1609, reprinted at Frankfort, in
1739. An English translation of it has been published by Mr. Rees.

X. The UNITARIANS have no symbolic book. To Doctor Lardner's _Letter on
the Logos_ they shew universal respect.

XI. The symbolic books of THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND,--are,
1. _The Theological Oaths_,--containing a Declaration of the belief
of the Monarch's spiritual supremacy;--and Declarations against
Transubstantiation,--the invocation of Saints,--and the sacrifice
of the Mass;
2. _The Thirty-nine Articles_.

XII. The symbolic book of the ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH PRESBYTERIANS,--is
"_The Articles of Religion_ approved and passed by both Houses of
Parliament after advice had with an assembly of divines, called
together for that purpose." These were sent into Scotland, and
immediately sanctioned by the General Assembly, and Parliament of
that kingdom; and thus became a law of the Church and State.
