IN the early years of the nineteenth century the prevailing Eucharistic doctrine in the Church of England was probably identical with or approximating to that taught by Waterland, whose Review of the Doctrine of the Eucharist has been described as “a treatise which was once considered almost as the text-book of the Church of England”. Yet other views were held, some of them carrying on the Zwinglian lines of teaching promoted by the Plain Account of the Nature and End of the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, others continuing the type of theology congenial to Bishop Ken and the author of the old Week’s Preparation towards a Worthy Receiving of the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, or to the Nonjurors.
