    the poor , are excellently repfeU seated by Professor Marsh O 4 , 18 } . For the rest , there is no . thing in his pamphlet that should detain our reader ^ and ourselves *

    It contains , indeed , like his Discburse , many -assertions without proof * and we perceive that he Ostes political rather than religious motives to accomplish his design . The cry of danger to thfc state he repeatedly sounds . Yet Archbi

    shop Seeker might have taught him that " whenever religion conies 16 bfc spoken of merely as an ij * sfri * ument of policy , it wilf no longer be so much as that : " * and he might have learnt from observation that the Dissenters are

    among the most peaceable and industrious subjects of the realm . The leading members of the hierarchy , have , at length , formed a national society for the instruction of the children of the poor in the principles of the established church . Whatever we think of

    the time , ( he manner and the rea « sons of the undertakings in the dif fusion of the advantages of ediica tion we ardently rejoice . The

    rival systems will now be practically at issue : * the public will soon have ocular proof which is the simjfler , the more economical and efficient . Zeal will be anil

    mated : vigilance will be increased . But we anticipate a still happier and more important result of the experiment . As we believe that the Bible caii make men wise unto

    salvation , so we doubt not that the religion of the Bible- —the religion of Christidns and Protestants — -will be ultimately promoted even by measures apparently inauspicious to its interests . N . ? Sermons . yoL iii . P . 5 .

    This is a religious romance , designed to explode orthodox Chri ^ i tianity . We doubt the moralpropriety of this mode of warfaVe ^ which may be employed ' as we | I agaihsr revealed religion itself UsL against any corruption of it and : which in this- instance , hbWfcver designed , seems to us to militate against the Christian faith . W& cannot deny to the author or authors of the work before us the praise of ingenuity , but we are

    restrained from higher commendation by an authority to which we

    are accustomed to bow : * If a man also strive for masteries , yet is he not crowned ^ . e xcep t he strive lawfully * ***
