Jumesj" it seems is to be answered by a single dash of bis pen , by ** a brief observation , ' * without cjting a single sentence , or refer , ring to any one argument contain * ed in them . Could the Doctor
possibly imagine that he should be able to gain the confidence of his readers , or establish the truth of the sentiment he is advocating by treating a work , which professes to be an examination of its truth , in this manner f
The Doctor tells us that he has read those two volumes which he professes to answer ; he must consequently knovv that in the second volume , p . 28 to 49 * I have col . leqted together all the passages in Dr . Chauncey and Mr . Winchester , where , iri various ways and for
different purposes , they assert that the kingdom of Christ will have an end , and have attempted to refute all their arguments in support of that assertion ; yet , notwithstanding thisj the Doctor reasserts the same thing without
taking the least notice of the refutation which , he must know , it has received a . * ¦ I $ | iould no \ v , Sir , proceed to examine the proof which the Doctor offers in support of his third
proposition , that is , that * " The eiicj of punishment in the diving government is to reform , " and then go on to inquire whether the inferences which he draws from

Answer to Mr . Behlmm ' a <{ Calm Inauirv . ' . * - .
BatA , Jan . 2 $ , ISM . Sir , It is now upwards of a year and
a half ( M . Repos . viu 568 , ) since your correspondent X . Y . expressed his " surprise and . disappoint * ment / ' that no Reply to Mr * Beisham ' s " Calm laquiry i ^ ta the Per ^> n of Christ' * had bt ^ n , or was intended to be , pu ^> Us h « d ,
it appearing to him to be " capable of being fairly and satisfactorily refuted : '* he therefore pledgelJhimself to attempt such a refutation , should no notice be given * through the Reposito ry ^ or by private letter to your printer , within two months , from the date of
his communication , that such a work was already in hand . Now * Sir , as no such notice has appeared in your pages , or * in any of the daily prints , I conclude thai X . Y , will make good his pledge of * ' sifting every- part" of Mr * ic
Bs reasoning , * and thereby " detect the latent , but primary and extensive sources of fallacy ^ Being an admirer of Mr * W& very able and interesting work / butastill greater admirer of Tru ^ h wherevershe may be found , lam not a little curious to see this promised
refutation . And yet after so long a lapse of time , I cannot help feeling a sort of pre-sentinaent that X . Y « on carefully analysing the principles of Mr . B * s" Inquiry" finds that he has a little too hastily declared it ** capable of a satisfactory refutation . " Sfiould it however be still X * YV
intention to favour the public wita his remarks , by intimating a » much in a future number of the Repository , he will oblige mai ^ y of your readers , besides Yows ^ -c
