Wishes to defend CD from the attacks E. B. Pusey made in his sermon [see 11763]. Raises specific questions on CD’s theological views in order to refute Pusey’s accusations.
Does not think sermon by E. B. Pusey [see 11763] is worth a reply. HNR may quote CD as saying that Pusey is "mistaken in imagining that I wrote the Origin with any relation whatever to Theology". Pusey’s attack will be powerless to retard belief in evolution.
