WE smile involuntarily at the schisms in the Church of England , which has no less thau thirtynine Articles of Fa | th , " for the avoiding of the diversities of opinions , and the stablishing of consent touching
true religion » " These schisms are daily multiplying and becoming wider . Tiiere is not only the evangelical and the moral party , but also different evangelical parties who pursue each other with the genuine odium theologicum . Dr . Ha ^ vker , for instance , is accused of antinomianism by the Rev . Thomas Smith , who at the same time
intimates that the Lord Bishop of Landaff is quite as ferfrpm the gospel on the other side . The Plymouth Doctor has declared against offering Christ to sinners , whereupon tlie present writer confronts him with a list of gospel ministers in the church , who ** offer Christ to the vilest of the vile , 1
and God blesses their labours : * this list is very dutifull y ^ K ^ afled with the name of ?* The ftigtit freyeren 4 the liord Bishop of Lolpdon . * Emboldened by th $ presence of such a host , the Rev . Thomas Smith charges the popular Doctor with quibbling , with
feigned humility and real pride , and with ignorance and " dreadful delusion' * atid opposition to the design of tlie gospel ; and gives ' htm . a birotiu ) well for him
