Wla charge bore upon tlie temporals of the Churchy and he talked miieb as a ste ward would talk to tenants about the cultivation of their farms and the proper apportion meats of their pieces of land . I commended him for what
appeared to be a fulfilment of his duty , and I thought this diocese was happy ia no * being- plagued , either jvith a Burgess who- thinks himself authorized to enforce the rigid sys * . terns of Orthodoxyr or with a Marsh , who will bind the poor candidates for clerical honours and profits with more than an Egyptian burden .

P . S . I must not omit the present opportunity of remarking upon a misstatement which a friend Informs me I have made in p . 99 , respecting the words used by Mr . Jones , Curate of Bovey in this county , on the Athanasiau Creed . His words are said to
have contained a disbelief of the damnatory clauses of the Creed , and not of the Creed altogether ; but if it were so , it does not invalidate my observation . A man who is in the Church is not at liberty to believe a part of its professed doctrines , and to deny another part ; for if this were the case , how could he declare his
assent and consent to all and every thing contained in the book of Common Prayer ? As a faithful steward the bishop had no right to admit Mr . Jones to the duties of the Church . ™» * - ' -- » w " »¦_*¦ ** >> A Vf Vt VA > V * V ^ * k # X ^ » »* M . JL *¦« . ^ m j * ^ b ^* A *

2 , St . John Street , Qlerkenwell , Sir , Nov . 2 , 1823 . ^ T ^ HERE is no subject upon which A a greater variety of hypotheses have been formed than that of the redemption of mankind by the death of
Jesus Christ ; particularly as to its nature , and as to the means by which it was accomplished . Much has been said and written upon the subject ; but all that I have seen and heard upon it , I confess , appears to tt « e very unsatisfactory , andT aa not catering sufficiently into l&e ideas r especting it which ** e * e meant to be

om&y #$ r |> x - the s * ei # d . iwinngs , ia which it ifr treated ot , at Iwrge , and from whkb ^ a ^ oae a clear and aqcinate knowledge of it , can b $ derived-, ., . Let us Jblieri eadeavour to ascertain what i * stated ia those writings upon this important subject . , And w ^ may
observe , ii * geueral , t ^ tt tfeey represent GhjSst aa dying jfy ? & or on ac count of , the sins of nft ^ kind , as th ^ La nib of God that taketh away th ^ sin q £ the world , as dowered for our offences * as dying for sin * t&e ju& ^ for the unjM&t that he might bring x \ s t ^
God j in particular , that his . dying fot dins was to put them away * to make reconciliation fpr them to make an end of transgressions , to redeem us from them , and to purge thena away ; and all this is represented by those writings as having been actually accomplished by the death of Christ .
" When he had , say they , by himself pyrged our sins , he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high ,. This man after he had offered one sacrifice for sin , for ever sat down on the right hand of God : for by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified . Now once
in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin , }> y the sacrifice of himself \ He was once offered to bear ( i . e . to carry away , to remove ) the sins of uiany . God hath
reconciled us to himself by the death of his Son ; for God was in or by Christ , i . e . by bis death reconciling the world unto himself , not imputing their trespasses unto them . "
Such is the statement of the New Testament on this interesting subject . The necessity of such a redemption as that which was effected by the death of Christ will appear , if we take a view of the state in which the
world was when Jesus appeared to put away sin . With respect to the Gentiles , the Apostle Paul describes them as sunk into tlae grossest idolatry and wickedness ,, and as being without hope and v without God in the world * With re $ { ject to the Jews , he represents them a * J in no wise in a
better state than the Gentiles , as alike afar from God , as being no less sinners before God than they were , and equally with thexn in a state of condemnation and de &th ; 90 that the vvhoUs world was become guilty before Qod , subject to the judgment of God ,
