a Remarks . cc Lincolnshire , —In this county the cause of Unitarianism continues to make progress . Since
our last anniversary , the doctrine which I have no hesitation in calling the true evangelical doctrine , being convinced it is identical with what our venerated
Master and his apostles taught , . has been introduced , by public preaching in , four places where it had not been publicly taught before , three of them market towns * , and books
are put in circulation , which it is to be hoped , will produce a good effect . At each of the places referred to , respectable audiences attended and heard the word with
much seriousness ; and I was so * , licited to visit them again the first convenient opportunity . " In the North Marshes some unfavourable circumstances have occurred , but those who have
received the doptrine stand firm , and are increasing in knowledge and Christian liberality ; irnper . is hable seeds are sown , and could there be public preaching more frequentl y , no doubt the work ^ ould go 011 more rapidly . As 11 , the few Unitarians , dispersed 18 they are in this district will co ntinue to excite attention and awaken a spirit of free enquiry , ^ occasional labours of a missionary will stimulate their zeal , Dkri ^ ^ ' kouth * Burgh ; the other ^ w Orby , a village .

In the South Marshes * I have lately found individuals in different places who are either Unita- » rians , cr favourably disposed towards Unitarianism and , heard of others whom 1 have not vet had
opportunity of seeing . Some openings for public preaching have already been found , and there is a prospect of others . The people shew much readiness to hear the word . I hope the time is not far distant when the North
and South Marshes will form a regular circuit for an Unitarian Minister . In those obscure parts it is not likely socicnes can be formed capable of supporting
such a minister ; but one active and laborious preacher might supply a number of places , and go round his circuit about once a month .
u I refrain from making any remarks respecting those places where regular congregations af * e formed , and have ministers to officiate among them , as the information will come best from such
ministers . u the whole , the Unitarian j _ , - i ... " !¦ - ¦ 1 _ . rr mh - ) - ¦ 1 ¦ 1 ¦¦ — - || - ¦ ¦' * 1 - * - - ¦ - ¦ ** * A district commencing a few miles below Boston , and extending to the N * rth Marshes ,
