ration ^ you suppose that Peter proposed making tabernacles , or tents because he svffered front cold . This may be very funny ; but it does not account for the proposal to dedicate each tabernacle to a distinguished prophet .
± o escape the argument drawn from the conduct of Mary , the sister of Lazarus , you deny that the relation was , by Christ ' s order , to be repeated in memorial of her . This is a rash assertion , which you will retract , yvhen you " have observed in the te > ct of
Matthewi ( xxvi . 13 . ) bis i ^ vr ^ ofryvov % To escape the argument drawn from the conduct of the disciples , at their final separation from Jesus Christ , you quote Kehrick ' s
Exposition . This exposition confirms what I maintain , that the disci - pies , at their final separation , worshipped Jesus Christ—a worship which I approve , for which I contend , ^ ind which I , like Kenrick ,
think a most natural tribute of respect . To escape the argument drawn from various passages in John , you attribute to the words glory and glorify a sense disconnected with worship . Turn for a
momerit to the xvi . chapter of John , and read , in either version , the 25—2 S verses . In the 526 th verse you will perceive , that even the intercession of Christ , which is implied to be always decisively efficacious , was to be unnecessary to the apostles ; and that their direct prayers were to avail with God , exactly in the same manner ps the mediatorial intercession of the saints above was acknowledg-

ed to avail . There cannot be two interpretations of these cleci . sive verses . To escape the argument drawn from the celebration of the communion , or Lord ' s supper , as this breakfast is often called , you say that it is no more an act of
worship than the celebration of any great statesman , hero or philoso . pher . I admit this ; it is no more ; but it is no less . And for such worship , celebration or commemoration , in the temples of other benefactors of mankind , as well es of their most efficacious moral
instructor , I am contending . The rest is irrelevant . What is it to the purpose how many persons once thought the Apocalypse to be prophetic ? Is the solution
of all the phenomena pertaining to it accomplished , or no ? Chariclo contendsthat in the Monthly Magazine , ( vol . x . p . 407 ) a dissertation exists , which has
decided the question . Next comes the inquiry , hotv can it be proved that Apollos wrote the Hebrews ? You cap . tiously print the words beyond all doubt in italics , as if they had been used by me . It can only be
guessed . The Alexandnanisim of style , the careful use of Paul's writing , the ready sciptural know * ledge , the ignorance about th $
Holy Ghost , and the local intimations , all agree with what is said of Apollos in Acts xviii . 34— -28 . Yet if the Hebrews be not of Apollos , but of Paul , is the passage produced less decisive in favour of the argument of C&AiUCLO .
