Rowan Strong in The Oxford History of Anglicanism: series introduction (vol. 1, p.xviii):


A word needs to be said about the use of the term ‘Anglicanism’ to cover a religious identity whose origins lie in the sixteenth century when the name was not known. While recognizing the anachronism of the term Anglicanism, it is the ‘least-worst’ appellation to describe this religious phenomenon throughout the centuries of its existence. It is a fallacy that there was no use of the term Anglicanism to describe the Church of England and its global offshoots before John Henry Newman and the Oxford Movement in the 1830s. Newman and his Tractarian confreres certainly gave wider publicity to the name by using it to describe the separate Catholic culture of their Church. However, its usage predates the Tractarians because French Catholic writers were using it in the eighteenth century.

Dodsworth recognising the Articles as something which the Tractarians are bound to (pp.19–20 of the text linked above):


[T]he English church is cut off from the rest of the Catholic Church. Try it by the apostolic test of unity, and it cannot be regarded as one either with the Latin or Greek communion. Try it by the Latin communion which most concerns us as part of the western Church; it is noe one “in doctrine,” unless the thirty-nine Articles are identical with the creed of Pope Pius...


Dodsworth gloating about the lack of responses to Romanism (p.3):


Much has been written by Roman Catholics, especially by recent converts, to show the untenableness of the Anglican position. Arguments have been adduced, at least worthy of being answered, but no answer has been attempted. Now I must think this to be a sign. ...

An exclusive document of my raw research for my big video on the definition of Anglicanism. I hope my supporters find benefit in it, the mess and spergy language notwithstanding.
