Next to the prittmry topic of this controversy , the attention is drawn to that respecting th £ Hewley Trust , and similar endowments . This controversy ma ^ be considered as included in the other . If Unitarians be . Christians , ' they can scarcely be excluded from the description of * godly * persons by which Lady Hewley designates her beneficiaries . There is a test to which
we should like to bring the Calvitiistic pretension of a closer affinity , than ourown , ^ with the founders of these charities * Will they take the Presbyterian monies with the Presbyterian principle annexed thereto ? Will they cease to fence the table of the Lord with their tests ? The Unitarian Presbyterians inherit this freedom from their ancestors , and have become Unitarians thereby . Let the Calviriists adopt it , and their descendants will
Unitariamze also . At least such is our faith ; and so firm is it , that if they will accede to this Presbyterian peculiarity , the real distinction of that body from Independents and Baptists , —if for the trusts and endowments they will sell their shackles and emancipate their souls , we will give our voice for striking the bargain forthwith . It is to be feared that they have no taste for so extensive a comprehension as this would soon produce in their churches . Exclusion is too dear to them . Mr . Hamilton objects to Unitarians , that a remarkable coincidence with the spirit of Pope ' s Universal Prayer pervades their theology / p . 89 . The objection , true or false , cannot be retorted . But there is at least one verse of that prayer which breathes a spirit , for some infusion of which neither his theology nor himself would be the worse : — ( Let not this weak unknowing hand Presume thy bolts to throw ; Nor deal damnation round the land On each I judge thy foe . *

A New Translation of the Book of Psalms , with an Introduction . By G . R . Noyes : Boston . ( U . S . ) Gray and Bowen . The translation of the book of Psalms by Mr . Noyes , as well as the introductory disquisitions , will repay a careful perusal . The critic will find aid and the devout Christian will find aid , each for his . own purposes , in this interesting and well-executed volume .
The style of the ' introduction may be judged of by the following : * The book of Psalms has been styled by some of the German critics , in allusion to a portion of Grecian literature , the Hebrew Anthology ? that is , a collection of the lyric , moral , historical and elegiac poetry of the Hebrews . Regarded hi this light alone , it presents a most interesting- subject of literary taste and curiosity . Many of these psalms must hare been composed eorae hundred * of yeara before the period ,
