A response to Furnivall's comments on Ruskin's pamphlet, "Notes on the Construction of Sheepfolds." Ruskin comments on who should and should not be turned out of the Church and on the relationship between Church and State. Ruskin does not entertain Furnivall's many questions concerning the Authority of Scripture, stating: "If the Bible does not speak plain English enough to define the articles of saving faith -- burn it, and write another -- but don't talk of Interpreting it."
