THE CORONATION OATH AND THE DOCTRINE OF THE REAL PRESENCE.

go THE EDITOR OF THE 4`8PHOTATOILI SIR,-" The Sovereign of England is bound," says "An East-End Vicar," "at his or her coronation to take solemn oath against the very doctrine, that of the Real Presence, which the extreme Ritualistic ceremonial is specially employed to proclaim."

I should be glad to know your correspondent's authority for that startling assertion. I venture to assure him that he will search the Coronation Service in vain for such an oath as he

describes.—I am, Sir, &c., AN EAST-END RECTOR.
