a most eloquent tribute . to the memory of this great confessor . Both these sermons we are . happy to say will be printed , and as they wjll find their way to many of our Trinitarian brethren , it is to be hoped that they will hot be r-ead without effect . Funeral sermons
were also preached in \ arious other churches ; at Birmin ham by Mr . Kent * - ish and Dr . Toulrnan , at York by Mr . Wellbeloved , at Chester by Mr . Lyons . The occasion indeed justified : this and every other token of respect , for Mr . Lindsey was not a common man . He was a great teacher oi the true scriptural religion , and he has given to England a decisive proof that its worship may be carried on

Th ? Rev . Dr . Reel ' s Address on laying the first stone of the 014 Jewry Chapel , in Jewin Street : delivered September 5 , 1808 ; Being St . Bartholomexo ^ s Day * O . S .
"This is a memorable day in the history of Protestant Dissenters in general ; and no less worthy of notice in the history of our congregation in particular . It has been therefore selected with
peculiar propriety for the business which we are now performing . According to the bid stile in our calendar it is distinguished by the name of St . Bartholomew ' s day—and it was | he day on which , in the year , * 66 a , two tnousand ministers of excellent talents , 1 e ?* rning , and character , were excluded frpm the church by the act of Uniformity . ^ %
Dissenters indeed , had been known in this country under various appellations , and particularly that of puritans and nonconformists , from , and even before thcrera of the reformation . Adopting the general principles upon "which the reformation was founded , and
carrying them to their proper extent , they Tnainiiiined the right of jud .:, in& for themselves in mutters of religion , and thought themselves warrantci by rea on a . nd :-cripture , and more e pccially by the Chiibtian directory of their faith and practice , to iccede faither from the doctrines and ceremonies of the church
of Home than the national reformers Jiad done . Through the successive reigns of Edward VI ., Queen Mary , Qjjeen Elizabeth , James I ., Charles I ., und during the interval of a dirTererit kind of go-• vernment that ctrmmenced rov . ards the close-ef the last mentioned reign , they

without insulting reason or common sense . He has shewn that true , Christianity Ts an easy yoke . Alas ! for those churches which would not listen to him but preferred vain and idle traditions to the solemn call he made to them . Hc is gone to his reward : happy are they who follow his example , and trust in the scriptures . AMlCUS . [ Of this most excellent man , of whom it may be necessary to state that a friend favoured us with the foregoing account , which did not come under our notice till it had passed through the printer ' s hands , we hope to give an extended me * moir , in the first number of the next volume .

objected partly to the doctrines , biit principally to the ceremonies of the established church , and above ail , to the imposition of them ; and many of them on various occasions , maintained the
unahenable right of private judgment , the sufficiency of scripture as a rule of faith and practice , and the sole legislative authority of Christ , their only aivinely commissioned teacher , and the only supernaturally appointed lord of conscience . He was their sole master , and they were unwilling to acknowledge any other in a province , that belongs only to God .
Their principles just and reasonable as tbty are , and notwithstanding the irreproachableness of their conduct , exposed them , on various occasions , to the ( disgrace and distiess p f persecution ; their property was always insecure ; and their lives were often in danger .
With 3 laudable resolution , and confiding in' the providence of God , they retained their integrity ; and when their effcrts to extend the principles and benefits of the reformation failed , they contented themselves with the exercise of their profession and ministry , at the ri .-k and with the ' loss ' in many instances ,
of thtir property and their lives . But the grand period of trial and discrimination was that . which took- place after the rertorution of Charles II . in the ye : ; r 1662 , when the act of Uniformity was passed . . King Charles indeed , was barely ungrateful in perixlitting such a
