« the saving grace of God hath appeared to all men , teaching us to lenounce impiety and worldly desires , and to live soberly , and uprightly , and piously , in this , present state ; looking * for the happy
object of our hope , even the manifestation of the glory of the great God , and of our Saviour Jesus Christ , who gave , himself for us , that he might redeem us from all iniquity , and purify for himself jl peculiar people , zealous in good works .
We finish our transcripts with a few verses from the Epistle of James ( iii . 1— 6 ) : ci My brethren , let not many of you become teachers , considering' that we shall undergo a more strict judgment . For in
many thing's we all ofie-nd . If any one offend not in word , he is a perfect man , able also to bridle the whole body . Behold we put bits into the mouths of horses , that they may obey us , and we turn their
whole frame . Behold also how the ships , though they be so large , and agitated by violent winds , are turned with a very small helm , in whatever direction the steersman pleaselh- Thus the tongue is a little member , and may boast of great things . Behold how large a quantity of materials a small are kindieth !" Here we take our leave of Philulethes % whom , however , we shall be happy to meet again in the walks of scriptural and theological literature :
opportunities for this purpose he will perhaps afford us' by a revision and new edition of his present version , and by a translation of some others of the apostolic epistles . We entreat him to believe that our remarks on his
labours are offered in the spirit of Unfeigned good will and candour , and under the deepest sense of our own imperfections and fallibility . Declining anv thing like altercation with so respectable a Writer , we shall gladly receive instruction from his pen . His
notes , alt hough properly jfewvare , in general , very pertinent and judicious , and may serve to sfrew what are some of his opinions concerning points of religious doctrine and discipline ; while his translation indicates his acquaintance with the classical authors of
antiquity . We think that his characteristic excellence is perspicuity ; his prevailing error , a taste for paraphrase . May we be permitted again to express our conviction , that no version of the Scriptures for popular use is likely ( o be effected ynlesH by thp

Art . III . —The Peculiar Doctrine * of the Gospel : a Sermon preached at the Chapel in Parliament Conrt > Artillery Lane , London , on Wednesday , Jnne the % ndy 1819 , before the Friends and Supporters of the Unitarian Fund . By James Yates , M . A . M . G . S ., one of the Minis .
ters of the New Meeting Birmingham . 12 mo . pp . 32 . Hunter and ^ Eaton . f 11 HE Introduction to this sermon JL will shew that it is peculiarl y worthy of perusal and consideration :
Nothing is more common among those of our fellow-christians , who are called Orthodox , than to speak of their opinions as the Peculiar Doctrines of the Gospel . By this expression they evidently intend to convey the idea , that those opinions arc not to be found in any other system of
religious belief , Tind that in the communication of them to mankind the chief and distinguishing * value of Christianity consists . Nevertheless we find it repeatedly asserted by the more learned of the
orthodox writers , that indubitable traces of these opinions are to be found in the tenets and practices of hiany heathen nations , and that , although now altered and corrupted in various Ways , they appear to have been received from time immemorial over every
quarter of the globe . " Upon the conquest of America in tlie 16 th century , the Roman Catholic missionaries , who laboured during * a gifa * part of their lives to . convert the natives of tbnt vast and newly discovered teirilory , found that the most essential parts <> f their system , such as the adoration of Thiee in One , the Incarnation of the Second Person
in the Divine Trinity , and his ex piatory sacrifice , were already admitted ; and ihey considered the surprising" fact of the reception of these sublime mysteries « "ion £ tribes so barbarous and so remote , as a splendid omen o ^ success . * 1 » at tlic
