How the Articles set forth Anglicanism's Augustinian centre: a surprising example

Today, a final extract from Bishop Christopher Bethell's 1843 Charge to the Clergy of the Diocese of Bangor.  Bethell was addressing the controversy provoked by Tract XC, noting the "unhappy bias" and "objectionable positions" set forth in that Tract, "eluding the critical and historical meaning of the Articles".  Against this, he points to how the Articles have authority in determining a Reformed Catholic - Augustinian - centre for Anglicanism.  And he does so by using them to critique a perhaps surprising figure, a theologian who Bethell and the High Church tradition held in great esteem: 

Omitting all mention of Hoadly and Clark, and the writers of their school, I would refer to a Divine of much higher rank and reputation: I mean the eminently pious, learned, and eloquent Bishop Taylor. In the sixth chapter of his Unum Necessarium, and in some appendices to that treatise, he labours with much ingenuity and eloquence to evade and explain away that doctrine of Original Sin which has been almost universally received by the Churches. The shocking exaggerations of this mysterious truth, which were then popular, acting upon the warm feelings of a tender and charitable heart, led him to soften down and explain away the passages of Scripture on which this truth is principally grounded, and the language of our ninth Article.
