" Her ministers are fiercely disputing with each other for the name of orthodoxy . *** Such is the crisis at which Dr .
^ Marsh has been elevated to the episcopat bench . He has merited his preferment , and will adorn it , by his learning , his talents and , we trust , his moderation . Intimately conversant with the whole circle of theological studies , he excels however in his

Marsh !
