ju % l mentioned , as I conceive , divtsts God of all his moral ptrfexlions and places at the heart of
the universe an omnipotent malignant principle . I am certain thar your correspond * nt does not see it in this light , but I think an Atheist would avail hiraseIf i * f his
illustration . An unbeliever m Christianity needs ask for nothing more ; for on this hypothesis all the t ^ vils of lifc put together are trifling in comparison with those psojjLuted by the gospel . If all Eaankind € i would have been an .
nibilated , would have returned to that dust whence they were taken * without any prospect of a recovery if Christ had not lived and died ; ' ' why did he live and die ? and why "were not tbe myriads who were m a state of death suffered to con *

correspondent in a labyrinth in which we should find neither ourselves nor opr subject , I shall therefore only just observe on the system , of which he is so strenuous an

adduced . " u To turn adjectives in one language into substantives in another appears to me to be a perversion and not a translation of the words /'
Must I then have the trouble of transcribing from Lexicons ? \ i so let us go to the source ^ t once . We will begin with Parjihu * st » " KOAAZii from the Hebrew
