acid darkness , to suit new and
incomprehensible articles of faith ! We now come to the conclusion of H . M . s remarks , and 1 can li&ve ' no hesitation in assuring him that' every pious Unitarian must deVoutly desire to pariicipate in * the gfoce of our Lord Jesus Christ , the love of God , and the
communion of the Holy Spirit ;" no belief in a threefold divinity feeing necessary to make hirti thankfully receive the truly apostolic benediction ; nor can he be at a loss to understand Peter when addressing the converts , Le probounces them " elect accoriiing
to the foreknowledge of God , through the * > anctification of the spirit , " and who having been made ftilly acquainted with tlie sufferings and doctrines rf Christ , were washed from their sins , and become obedient to the holy laws which he delivered .
I . have been led to say much more on these interesting subjects tKan I at first intended , or than was strictly necessary , in reply to H . M * but if he candidly and coolly considers " what has been Vritt ^ n , I trust that it will induce
