OfcoursethoseAnglicanswho reallybelievethattheirEstablishedChurchinEnglandisa continuationoftheCatholicChurch inEnglandinpre-Lutherandays arelivinginafool'sparadise.To enterintothehistoryandpolemics ofthequestianwouldrequiremuch space,butperhapsyouwillbesatisfiedwiththeopinionofthelearned Lempriere,who,inhis"Universal BiographyinthesectiononAnne Boleyn,says"About1525,she returnedtoEngland,andwhenmaid ofhonourtoCatherine,shedrew uponherselftheaffectionofHenry VIII.,andbyheraddresssheprevaileduponhimtodivorcehiswife, andasthePoperefusedtodisannul hismarriage,Englandwasseparateu fromthespiritualdominionof Rome."ThereforeaccordingtothiseruditeProtestantdivine.Englandwas ender"thespiritualdominionof Rome,"untilHenry'slustinducel himtoqtfarrelwiththeHolySce.
