Thi $ piece is written with much case , and vivacity , and some strong argument , and is a picture of Mr . Palmer ' s free and unconstrained
inannerpf delivering his sentiments . The Adclress > prefixed , to the Unitarian Congregations of Edinburgh , Dundee , Forfar , Arbroatb , Mo n * trose , and Newburgh , is an &cL mir&ble composition , and after some animated exhortations to
his brethren , to act with fearless integrity , zeal , and perseverance in the great ? important cause of Uniiarianism , it concludes in the following manner ;
, u If active zeal can spread-the abasing an ^ i idolatrous superstitiop , of a popular sect , . what success must attend equal exertions in a
rational service of the Deity , which issuing from him , will be found every way worthy of him , and has all that can captivate our reason , and warm and amend-the heart .
Let us not be slothful then , brethren , but fervent in spirit , serving the Lord , always abounding in his work , forasmuch as we know that our labour will not be in vain .
But while we are filled with zeal , let us , at the same time , be filled with eqvml charity ; while we endeavour to root out the error let us love the crroipiCous , Temem-r bering , that universal love ,
without the distinction of sect or party , and undissembled active benevolence , are the mark and criterion of being disciples of him who laid down his life for those that rejected h » doctrine . 4 Thus , by our reverence and att achment to the Almighty , and tyoMrloye to our brethren of mankind , may we adorn his Gospel , and cause many to glorify our Father , ft&Vso . we may be filled with the ^ speakable consolation of hi * bemgourgr ^ at ^ d everUrtingTewarct ?

Britain , being } n a crazy condition , ; occasioned much delay , inconvenience , and distress , and at last they were obliged to take refuge in Guam a Spanish island , and surrender themselves prisoners . They were treated with hospitality by
the Spanish governor ; but Mr . Palmer was siezed with a dysentery , under which disorder he lingered for some time , but a mortification taking place , he was relieved by death from ail his troubles on the second day of June , 1802 .. From what Mr . Palmer
once told me , he must have been about 55 or 56 years of age at the time of his death . Rev . xiv . 12 , 13 ^ ** Here is the patience of the saints : here are they that keep the commandments of God , and the faith of Jesus . And I heard
a voice from heaven , saying unto me , Write , blessed are the dead which die in the Lord , from henceforth : yea , saith the Spirit , that they may rest from their labours r a ^ nd their works do follow them . ** It may appear at first-. . sight strange and unaccountable , that
