A Letter to the Rev. William Maskell, A.M. by Mayow Wynell Mayow
"A Letter to the Rev. William Maskell, A.M." by Mayow Wynell Mayow is a theological publication written in the mid-19th century, specifically around the 1850s. This book addresses a significant crisis within the Church of England regarding its doctrines and the authority of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. It is primarily a letter that debates the implications of this authority on matters of church doctrine, particularly focusing on baptismal regeneration.In the letter, Mayow expresses his concerns regarding the decisions made by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, arguing that they may not necessarily commit the Church of England to heresy despite the ambiguity of the language within its formularies. He contends that while the court may have the authority to interpret church law, this does not automatically mean that the Church’s true stance is heretical. Throughout, he emphasizes the importance of the Church's intentions and the necessity for it to assert its doctrines clearly to avoid misinterpretation and the perception of heresy. Mayow also proposes actionable steps for the Church to maintain its integrity amidst these challenges, advocating for a gathering to petition for a convocation to consider these urgent matters.
