J . M . ' s Replies to the Clergyman are postponed , with his consent , for xnsertloa in our next volume , in which they will follow each other without interruption . Our correspondent ) the Clergy man > has favoured us with an Examination of the Hew F . Stone ' s "" Statement of his Case , " in our last number , which , with the same impartiality , that has , we Matter ourselves , hitherto distinguished us , we shall insert in the next and concluding number of the present volume . We are much pleased with the c < Three Contemplative Walks / ' and the " New Pilgrim ' s Progress ; " but their length necessarily renders them unsuitable to th * Monthly Repository . The worthy author will not , we trust , consider this as a check to his sensible and * pleasing pea His communications are returned to the Printer . A letter has been sent us under the signature of Tbeopbilus , pointing out a supposed misrepresentation of Dr . Doddiidge ' s Exposition on John iii . 13 , and vi . 62 , by Mr . BeUhtW t in his < c Strictures on Mr . Carpenter ' s Lectures , ' ' in pp . 545 and 54 6 of our Magazine . Mr * Behham asserts that the phrase " ascend up to hea-% cn , " in those passages is interpreted figuratively by Dr . Deddridge ; this is denied by Theopbtlusy * vho makes several quotations from the Dr . ' s Paraphrase * and Notes , on the teit in Question , to shew that he believed in the pre-existence ( or rather the * divinity ) of Chri t , a point which Mr- Belsham , assuredly , never intended to
deny : but Tbeopbilus does not quote , and appears to have overlooked Dr . 3 Dod « dridge ' s note don John iii 13 , which puts it out of all doubt that Mr Belsham * s in terpretation of him is correct . Theophilus extracts also Dr . Clark ' s Paraphr&e of these places , for the purpose of shewing ( what is surely nee . dlesg ) that all expositors are not Unitarians . In spite however of his obvious error , and of his te * s dious diffuscncsSjWc should have inserted his letter had it not been hothwigrammaticaL 2 . nd intemperate . He appeals to our impartiality ^ and upon this we certainty pride ourselves ; but let it be remembered that while we disclaim all judgment upon .
the tbeohgicul opinions 01 our correspondents , we profess to be rigorous judgesofthe literary composition and the temper of their papers . The Monthly Repository aspires to respectability , at the same time that it studies impartiality . Jheopbilus gives much good advice to Mr Behham ^ and points out to his notice some very profitable reading ; not considering how truly ridiculous such a strain of writing is , even when well done , in an annymouj remarker upon a writer who has always given his name with his communications . If Tbeopbilus be dissatisfied with the Editor ' s rejection
of his letter , he may have it returned by applying at the Printer ' or , if he choose , it shall lie there for the inspection cf any of Qur readers , who may call our judgement in question . The questiomof the Modest Querist , '* in our next , We thank him for the advice suggested by the question concerning the Monthly ( not Theological ) Repository ^ but this part of his paper , not belonging to the public , will not be published -with the rest .
A correspondent inquires very anxiously " What has become of Gcgmagog ? * He that writes under a fictitious name , wishes , of course , to be concealed : and therefore we are not at liberty to divulge any thing concerning this , oc any other contributor , who does not choose to appear before the public in his own person . In the main , Amicus is , webeiieve , right in his conjectures . We heartily wish his inquiry , thus publicly noticed , may have the effect of re ^ -cngaging in © ur servico * writer , who has unquestionably the power and the hacrit of dratvittg attention *
