Excerpt from The Church of England and the Teaching of Bishop Colenso
"You need boldness to risk all for God - to stand by the Truth and its supporters against men"s threatenings and the devil"s wrath; ... you need a patient meekness to bear the galling calumnies and false surmises with which, if you are faithful, that same Satanic working, which, if it could, would burn your body, will assuredly assail you daily through the pens and tongues of deceivers and deceived, who, under a semblance of a zeal for Christ, will evermore distort your words, misrepresent your motives, rejoice in your failings, exaggerate your errors, and seek by every poisoned breath of slander to destroy your powers of service." - Sermon preached at the Consecration of Bishop Colenso, St. Andrew"s Day, 1853, by Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford.
Luther himself, when he nailed his theses on the church-door at Wittenberg, was not committing himself to a more momentous work than the Bishop of Natal when he resolved to search into the structure of the Pentateuch. - Life of Bishop Colenso, i.481.
