Author: Manning, Henry Edward (1808-1892). English Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster.
Title: Autograph Biblical Quotation Signed by the English Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster Henry Edward Manning.
Description: 8, York Place, W. 19th Century. - A 17 word quotation from the King James version of the Bible penned on 4-1/4 inch high by 4-3/8 inch wide "8, York Place, W." stationery. Archbishop Henry Edward Manning has penned the following quote from John 4:24: "God is a Spirit and they that worship him, must worship him in Spirit and in Truth". Signed "+Henry Edward Archbishop of Westminster". Once folded, the corners are clipped with a tiny chip to the right edge. The quotation has been mounted with glue from the verso onto heavier stock clipped from an album. Very good.

The English prelate of the Roman Catholic church Henry Edward Manning (1808-1892) was the second Archbishop of Westminster. Manning attended Harrow School and subsequently Balliol College, Oxford graduating with political ambitions. Working as a clerk in the Colonial Office, his thoughts turned towards a clerical career. He was subsequently elected as a fellow of Merton College and was ordained as a deacon in the Church of England. He married John Sargent's daughter Caroline. Of frail health, Caroline died within a few years and Manning's theology came to be influenced by the High Church. He converted to Roman Catholicism in 1851 and in 1875 Manning was created Cardinal-Priest of Ss Andrea e Gregorio al Monte Celio. Very good .
