A critique of church discipline fusing legal limits with ecclesiastical failure. The piece taunts the state church structure over the Northampton case of Rev. Arbert Marsh, arguing bishops lack power to eject unworthy clergy and warning the Bible society's monopoly harms doctrine, while urging reform and vigilance by British Christians.
