Rather succinct? Shirley, you jest.

hmmm, but he uses Ray, and in other places Webster provides discussion of a debate with Ray, in which Ray could not get any traction.

The argument appears to founded upon what is called in other quarters a later "unpacking" of what has been handed down.

The oak tree not resembling the acorn, but the acorn having contained "the elements" from which the tree grows.(?)

Looks like more the same 'ol same 'ol apologetic double-talk, to me.

Viva voce, the living tradition. It appears he is not ignorant of it, and suffers not from a misunderstanding of it, simply because he doesn't fully buy into the party line.

Mr. Armstrong, I guess, isn't biased? William Webster has some very good reasons for leaving the Roman Catholic Church. He goes into those reasons Here.
