    To the Editor of the Monthly Repository .

    SIR , Your readers cannot be surprised , that in the only work open

    to free religious inguiry , the doctrines of rational Christianity are attacked both openly and covertly ; that a Churchman i Chariclo ^ and now a man who calls himself a

    Jewr are desirous of throwing their darts at the doctrines and institutions of the Gospel . I much suspect ^ that ^ this Jew is of the same tribe with the two persons

    above mentioned ; but however that may be , I will , with your leave , make a short remark or two upon his curious letter . He says that * 4 c as forms and ceremonies

    are necessary to religion , the only question is , whether Jesus or Moses , as an institutor of divine ordinances , is to be preferred /' Now this does not rest the question at all upon fair grounds . It by no means follows , because forms »« d ceremonies were

    community . - The Jewish church was confined to the little country of Judea , but the Christian church . is of all countries , and in Jesus Christ , . ' whether we be Jews or

    Gentiles , bond or free , we are all baptized by one Spirit into one body / The men who officiated in the Jewish worship were a distinct order , of one family , and on account of their attendance
