deserted by their pruralist pastors , and left in but too many instances without any resident pastor at all , and not without a , fair justification upon the ground of piety , have exchanged the chureh for the rnecting-house , v ^ here they find , at least diligent earnestness in the ministry ; and

disrespect to the clergy , which now seem to threaten the total overthrow of the establishment , and which as its least possible evil , cannot fail to render men more indifferent than they otherwie would be with regard to the defence and the incle * pendence of their country .
