purposeth , with thy permission , to sojourn in Cottayam , even as the presbyters , Benjamin Bay ley , Joseph Fenn , and Henry Baker , have sojourned tfntfi ttow with license of the godly bishops of the Church of Malabar , to teach learning atod piety to all who thirst after
instruction , doing good , and offending no man . -And 1 beseech thee , brother , for nty sake , and the sake of the gospel , to receive him as a son , and as a faithful servant of our Lord , who is alone , whh the Holy Ghost , most high in the glory of God the Father : to whom be all honour and dominion for ever . Amen . t
Moreover , 1 beseech thee , brother , to beware of the emissaries of the Bishop of Rome , whoae hands have jteeu dipped in the blood of the saints , from whose tyranny our Church in England hath been long freed by the blessing of God , and we hope to continue in thftt freedom for ever : of whom are they of Goa , Cra » garior , and Veratioli , who
have in time past done the Indian Church much evil . I pray that those of thy Churches in Malabar , * who are yet sub * ject to these men , may arouse themselves and be delivered from thteir hatidd . Howbeit , the Lord desireth not the death of a sinner , but his mercies are over all Ms works , tod He is found of them that sought him not .
" Our brother Abraham , Legate of the Armenian nation , who is sent from his Patriarch at Jerusalem , —may God rescue his holy city from the hands of the Ishmaelites !—who is with us in Cal * cutta , salutes thee . He also brings a letter which was sent by his hand to thee from the Syrian Patriarch at Jerusalem ^ and has not found means hitherto of
forwarding it to thee at Malabar : and has therefore requested me to send it now to thee . All the Church of Christ that is here salutes thee . Salute in my name thy brethren Mar Dionysius , and Mar PhiloxenuB , f with the presbyters and deacons . —We , William Mill and Tho * mas Robinson , presbyters , that write this epistle in the Lord , salute you .

AnT . VI . — The Historical Evidences ' of Christianity UnassdUable , proved in Four Letters , addressed to the Rev . Robert Taylor md Mr . Richatd Cartile * By J . R . Beard . 8 vd . pp . 146 . Robinson and Bent , Manchester ; R . Hunter , Lonxfcm .
1826 . The ignorance , hardihood and ribal dry of the two persons named in this title-page , have excited so much contempt and disgust in the minds of wellinformed Christians , that they have been left in a great measure to their own extravagancies and follies . This is not perhaps wise : for disagreeable as is the
task of exposing the practices of falsifiers of history and defainers of holy characters / lying statements and calumnious charges may impose upon the half-witted and " willingly ignorant / ' so long as they are not brought into open day-light , Mr . Beard has therefore deserved well of the moral and Christian public by
this complete development of the arts of modern infidels . Upon his opponents it was not to have been expected that he should make much impression > but could any of their deluded followers be persuaded to read his pamphlet , it is impossible that with all their credulity they could any longer place confidence in these " blind leaders of the Mind . '
The last of Mr . Beard ' s Four Letters exhibits an excellent view of the internal , and , what may be called , the literary evidence of the genuineness of the Christian Scriptures : stripped of aU that belongs to the controversy witty the famous London champions of infidelity , and somewhat enlarged , it would form a very useful pamphlet , and would procure for the author the reward of a wider
perusal than cam , we apprehend , be expected for the present publication , valu able as it la , on account of the wretched names of the antagonists whom he is obliged to bring forward , ia order to eit . cbuwter * on « very page .
