in all their extent and efficacy ? will serve to rescue the character and conduct of Almighty God , and his Son , our divine and heavenly teacher , from the great and foul reproaches which have long been cast on both , by the fictitious , irrational and unscriptural doctrine of Christ ' s saiisfactive or atoning sufferings , or his vicarious crucifixion and death .
The writer oi the preceding brief hints is duly apprized of their arcat imperfection ; but they refer to * matters indisputably of the highest importance , tending , it is thought , to vindicate Almighty God ' s last and best dispensation to man , and to satisfy the minds of all those that are sincerely and seriously desirous to learn their duty from the pure word of God , and ascertain the scriptural terms of receiving from their heavenly father the forgiveness of all their sins , and everlasting life and happiness in Heaven .

It is said in Levit . vi . 1—7 ? * ' And the Lord spake unto Moses , saying , if a soul sin , and commit a trespass against the Lord , and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep , or in fellowship , or in a thing taken -away by
violence , or narii deceived Ins neighbour ; or hath found that which was lost , and lieth concerning it , and sweareth falsely ; in any of all these that a man doeth sinning therein : then it shall be because he hath sinned and is guilty , thai he shall restore that which be took violently away , or the thing * which he hath deceitfully gotten , or that which was delivered him to
keep , or the lost thing which he found , or all that about which he hath sworn falsely ; he shall even restore it in the principal ? and shall add the fifth part more thereto , and give it unto him to whom it appertained , in the day of his trespass-offering . And he shall bring his trespass-offerino unto the
Lord , a ram without blemish out of the flock , with thy estimation , for a trespass-offer ing unto the priest : and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord : and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he
liatn done in trespassing therein . ''* We learn from this passage that atonement was made for the wilful sins of lying , fraud , thuft * perjury , and dishonest traffic ; which are breaches of the third , seventh and tenth commandments ; as well as of others which arc not' expressly mentioned in the decalogue . —See also Num . v . 5—8 . It is also said in I&yit * xiic / 20- —
