    Morgan should put the least shackle or restraint upon Dr . Infield . What his opinion of the congregation at Norwich was , at the time of his accepting their invitation , the following quotation will shew . I copy it from

    1 lie original letter in his own handwriting " , it is addressed " to the Society of Protestant Dissenters , assembling in the New Chape ] , Norwich , " and dated " Warrington , May 2 , 17 85 . " " It is a circumstance which

    jjias great weight in determining my resolution , that you have long been distinguished for that liberality of spirit , which will allow your ministers full scope for the faithful execution of their office , without hazard of giving offence . " The letter concludes

    thus : " It is my sincere prayer , that the relation , which is commencing , may , under the blessing of heaven , be productive of our mutual satisfaction and benefit , in the most important concerns . I have no higher ambition than to approve myself in the

    cause of religion and virtue . " Those who knew Dr . Enfield , will agree with me that these were not words of course . No minister ever discharged the duties of his station with more

    unwearied assiduity ; none ever enjoyed in a higher degree the esteem and affection of his people . —I will not trespass farther on your readers' time , but I hope enough has been said to vindicate his character from a direct

    charge brought against it , and the congregation of Unitarians here from an insinuation which they have not deserved . I am , Yours respectfully , EDWARD TAYLOR . ^^ fc

    a blasphemer , and one in whose house he believed some there could testify , that the Devil was as visibly familiar as any one of the family . " At the date of this sermon , some opinions and practices were maintained , as contrary to the design of Christianity as to the operations of a sound mind . Yet many were now reviled for uttering words of truth and soberness . Thus Biddle was persecuted as a blasphemer , and rescued only by the

    justice or policy of Cromwell from the power of the Assembly of Divines , who , with misguided zeal , thirsted for his blood . Those divines , all good Nonconformists are taught , from the nursery , to venerate as the harmless sufferers of 1662 , and are thus prepared to read , as authentic history , the partial narratives of Nealand Calamy .

    TriuneGod 9 and a Grod-man were publicly professed at Reading more than a century and a half before their ] ntc revival in that place . This appears by a quotation in Grey ' s Examination of Neal's fourth volume , ( p . 59 , ) from ** Simon Forde ' s Sermon at the

    TVssizes at Reading , Feb . 28 , l 653 . ( Pp . SI , 22 . ) Besides the complaint of Socinianism , for which I refer to it , the whole passage is curious . Dr . Grey having described the preacher
