Summary "A Second Letter to the Bishop of Exeter" by Sir Edward Hall Alderson is a theological treatise addressing ecclesiastical jurisdiction and governance within the Church of England, written during the mid-19th century. The book delves into the implications of the Privy Council's judgment in the Gorham Case, emphasizing the relationship between the Crown and the Church, and the authority of bishops in the ecclesiastical hierarchy. In this letter, the author attempts to clarify the nature of the Duplex Querela and its significance within ecclesiastical law. Alderson discusses the jurisdictional powers of the Archbishop of Canterbury and argues against the notion that any ecclesiastical rule has been violated by the Crown's involvement in church matters. He explores the concept of Royal Supremacy, indicating that while the Crown holds significant authority, it does not extend to interfering with the core spiritual functions of the Church. Instead, he advocates for a collaborative relationship between the secular government and the Church, suggesting that the legislative powers should be exercised with input from Convocation to ensure the Church’s integrity and function properly within the state framework.
