    Umtarianism in Wales . Hackney , Sir , Dec . 23 , 1811 . As an instance of the progress of Unifarianism in Wales , I beg leave to relate a circumstance

    which was mentioned to me a few months since by a respectable clergyman of the established church on the spot . One of hrs parishioners , and formerly his very constant hearer , was induced to

    join a Baptist congregation hi th £ freighbouThood , with \ whom he continued two or three years and then returned to his parish church . On being questioned by the clergyman as' to th& cause of this charjg £ , he assured him his senti - ifterits r £ rhaihed the same as when

    he joined the Baptists , ' and had their ' g continued the same also , he would never have left them , but that latterl y the whole congregati - tibn had ( to use fys own expression ) " run Unitarians /'

    among the learned , whether the sacred writers of the Old Testament had any expectation of sur « # viving the stroke of death . Thers

    ate undoubtedly many passages , particularly in tjie Psalms and in the prophets , which seem to iatimate that they had this hope , but if , after all , their original import is so doubtful as to admit of a

    different construction on principles of just criticism , it must be allowed that no great stress can fairl y be laid upon them . So far at least is certain , that the hopes and fears < of a future life , made no part of the Mosaic code , the sanctions of which were

    all temporal : yet the law , in the language of an Apostle , was 4 t the school-master to bring men to Christ /* By this introductory dispensation they were taught the knowledge of the one living an $ true Gpd—the theopathetic

    affections were excited and cultivated * a purer morality \ yas enforced , and the great ; duties of justice and humanitywere called into exer ^ cise . But , if the various texts , already alluded to as seeming to

    point towards a future state , are capable of being * interpreted on different principles , it will follow ^ that no sufficient evidence appears from their writings that the Jewish worthies had any definite

    expectation respecting it . Here then a great difficulty occurs , for how can it have happened that whilst the philosophers in the Heathen * world express such extreme anxiety on this

    ipomentous subject , that these emincn { Jews , who in common with them , had their allotted share of afflictions and trials in thia life ; were alike subject tg sickness and sorrow , ai * d eventuafjy to death ^
