lit the time , that c * Miss Elizabeth Newtihatti , of Birmingham , spinster , aged sixty five years and upwards , " had " made oath , " I disputed the accuracy of these confident assertions , and engaged to prove " that Ma . Colk hud ceased to be a Calvinist and a Trinitarian , long before * hi $ resignation ?—
Does Mr . Charles Mander challenge me to the proof ? or does he apologize for the error into which the seal of his friends had betrayed them , and acknowledge that , the premises being withdrawn , the conclusion falls to the ground ? Had such been his magnanimity , / would have applauded him to the very echo that should applaud again .
On the contrary , all that he says is , In this particular Mr . Bcansby ' s statement adds great weight to our case ; and throws a peculiar colouring of justice upon the proceedings of those whom he is pleased to brand with the opprobrious epithet of zealots" ** Can it then be it matter of wonder / ' he after
wards asks , " that when Mr . Cole began * to wax cold / and instead ofr animated and experimental discourses , he delivered them in nothing but a ¦ * practical strain / that then there should
be some found , \ vhose zeal was called into action * and who should earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints /*
this passage , I recollected the printed declaration of Mr- Stewatd , who still retains po <« ession of the Meeting house , that being Introduced to the chapel an Unitarian an I by Unitarian * , he was bound both by the principles of honour and Christianity 10 give it up to them again " Surely , when the ** Preface' * was presented to him for his signature , be could not be an entire stranger to tho feelings W beautifully described by the poet ; u O write it not , my hand 1— the name appear * Already written— -wash it out , my tears !**
I perceive that la a tepublication of their " Case of gieat Importance /* the nine u Orthodox Ministers' * no longer recommend it ** a valuable precedent s the phrase I » quietly withdrawn . I consider this to be a inost costly * nd splendid tucrifice , on the altar of public opinion .
