Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Charge Delivered to the Clergy of the United Dioceses of Ossory, Frens, and Leighlin at His Primary Visitation in September, 1842
I might be restrained from dwelling at any length upon the ministerial office and its duties, - if not indeed from entering upon them at all, -when I see around me so many whose large and long experience makes the place of teachers in such mat ters, much more suitable to them than that of learners. But they will be among the first, I doubt not, to consider, that if I apportioned what I have to say to their experience, I should be omitting a great deal which the inexperience of others may render needful or useful to them. And, besides, so much of what is most elementary, and what has been long regarded as most fixed, has been unset tled in our times, that there is scarcely any point, whether of doctrine or disci pline, upon which it is not doubtful what views and principles men now hold. So that there is hardly anything so elementary, or so certain, upon which it may not be necessary to say something, to correct or to determine the views of some who hear me, and, even beyond what that purpose requires, to make known my own.
