"Your eternal, spiritual welfare": Le Mesurier's Bampton Lectures, the Old High tradition, and 'secular advantages'

On a number of occasions, laudable Practice has drawn attention to the pre-1833 Old High tradition robustly affirming the divine institution of the Church and renouncing any reliance for its claims upon establishment status e.g. Horsley in 1790, Spry in 1816, Lonsdale in 1827, and Perceval in 1831. This refutes the suggestion made in Tract One that the 'Two Bottle Orthodox' relied on "secular advantages" - "Hitherto you have been upheld by your birth, your education, your wealth, your connexions". The evidence from the pre-1833 Old High tradition is quite clear that such a claim was entirely erroneous. 

This is also explicit in Thomas Le Mesurier's 1807 Bampton Lectures, On the Nature and Guilt of Schism. Ending the first lecture, Le Mesurier makes it abundantly clear that establishment status and temporal interests are not his concern when it comes to defining the claims of the Church, what Tract One called the Church's "divine mission":

Still less is it my wish to say any thing which may bear upon that alliance between church and state, from whence is derived or rather by which is secured, that portion which the former inherits of wealth and of worldly honour; and which may be suspected to have caused much of the jealousy, to which she has been exposed. If it should be necessary to touch upon it, I shall not forbear, but it will be my wish to steer clear of any thing like formal discussion on that head. The appeal which I shall make, I would wish to be directed exclusively to your consciences, as followers of Christ and servants of God. I would have you consider the question not as it may affect any temporal interests of your own, or of the civil community to which you belong; but as it may concern your eternal, and spiritual welfare.
