On Passages in Mr . Beteham * s Memoirs of Mr . Lindsey . Sir , August 7 , 1812 . In Mr , Belstiarn ' s Memoirs of Mr . Lindsey , I observe a remark ,
p . 116 , on the conduct of some Dissenting congregations , who upon a vacancy . pccasioned by tlie death of a minister , make choice of a successor whose doc *
tnnal sentiments are materially different from his , in consequence o £ fti $ not having been sufficiently explicit in stating and defending
them . The remark is just , as to the fact itself , £ p d perhaps ^ s to the frequent cause . But that ^ pecniecl is not the only cause . I nave known instances of a perspn being chosen to succeed a deceased
minister of sentiments widely different from hjis ,, ^ though foe bad fully and frequently stated them , and had often warmly defended item , Ih some cases the successor has pjeen pipre .. v >^ lv | Q ^ ti < cal it > an his predecessor , and in others less so . But without now inquir .

gation refused to invite Dr . Ashworth whom he recommended as his successor boih in the pulpit and in the academy , and whose sentiments were in perfect unison with his own , and chose a gentleman , a very worthy person , bat whose orthodoxy was of a much
higher tone than that of his pre ^ decessor . * ' Now , Sir , the fact was , the congregation at Northampton ,, at least the great majority , would gladly have received Mr . Ashworth as their pastor , but thejp objected to Mr . Clark as his ^ a s-
sistant , who could not be dismissed on account of his important services in the academy . I must add ^ that the person they chose , viz . Mr . Gilbert of Oakbam ,
was not so much more orthodox than Dr . Doddrulge , as is supposd . 1 have heard him preach , as welljas read sum ; printed sermons of his , from whence I should conclude ,
that his sentiments were fai from being ^ pf a higher tone : " and it is certain thai his manner was riot
