While the greatest writers-in the Christian Advocate ' s own cpmmu * nion , differ . considerably among themselves 4 n the explanation ' of disputed texts , it ill becomes him to accuse Unitarians of that mutual diversity of interpretation and opinion which not even an
infallible church can entirely prevent . It is equally indecorous in him to hazard a sne < jr ( 9 ) at Mr . Belsham ' s u rate of iniellect and . acqXiirerhent , and to connect with the Iwprdved ' Version the name of that gentleman , of ' whose
concert ! iri it he ckn know nothing but in common with the public . As to this translation itself , we challenge Mr .

It were easy to enlarge this list of examples of Mr . D' Oyly ' s bad taste in composition . But we are called to more agreeable employments . Intelligent and
