For those wishing to know: having released an eBook by Sikes a few numbers 
back, I felt that I had been a bit hard on him, and the book didn't really 
represent his views or paint him in a good light.  I've therefore 
transcribed this one which was published in Oxford many years after 
Sikes's death, by some high-church clergyman who was no doubt seeking to 
ingraciate himself to Rev. Samuel Wilberforce, then the high-church Bishop 
of Oxford.  Unfortunately it just confirms my original impression.  Sikes 
does, however, seem to have been an inspirer of the Oxford Tractarians and 
the pamphlet is very much their views.

All the best,
