v Jatioo is already prepared , by your past conduct . It is now known , th $ t tfoere is at least one body of men in Eurape to whom the persecuted may
confidently appeal , and by whom , as long as public justice lingers in the world , their oppressors wilt be exhibited to public view , and exposed to virtuous indignation .
"Grateful far the confidence with which they have been honoured , the Committee , in the name of the general body , pledge their best exertions to their brethren , throughout the empire , whenever their humble

incumbent on him to dwell at that time ; but there was one point on which he did feet it necessary to say that he considered the General Bap * lists as falling below some of their fellow-christians—it was in mental
cultivation . This , therefore , would be the subject of his discourse . Id illustrating and enforcing his subject , the preacher clearly iriarked the distinction between mere learning and useful , practical knowledge ; he cautioned his hearers against being deterred from
the perusal and study of some of the best productions of the human mind , by the cry of heresy or infidelity which had been raised against the names of their illustrious authors ; and concluded with giving some judicious rules for rendering study really subservient
