Stone is to bring the liturgy to * a conformity with the scriptures , and to strike out every thing not essential in the worship of one God , the God of Jesus Christ .
His project is exceedingly good , and would doubtless be very beneficial to the church ; but he is not likely to be heard , and the church itself is fcarftil of a * ny change . Its members are daily

nevolent services : but he states two principles as the basis of his discourse , which some will rcgaVd as imaginary obstacles ^ arid on that account lightly ^ esteem bis arguments and ' -persuasions ; and which others will deem fatal obstacles , and : therefore suC ^ Umb in d&spaif .
