Excerpt from Newman and Ritualism: Being the Substance of Sermons Preached and Now Published by Request Persons have supposed that there must be some strong reason in favour of the Church of Rome when such a good man as Newman joined it, and they have said with a sort of despairing wonder, How do you account for it?' As if it could only be accounted for by some powerful argument with which they were unacquainted, but which was known to Newman and influenced his mind. Thus many persons are more or less unsettled, and think that there is probably more in the Romish argument than we Protestants are willing to admit. This state of mind I have met with even amongst ourselves, and hence I shall try to show you, and I hope successfully, that there is nothing in Newman that should lead us to take him for a guide, and that the arguments and influences which moved his mind can be determined and valued, and are not of such a nature as in the least to imperil the Pro testant position or to strengthen that of the Romish church.
