if he had thought of escaping punishment . This man , 1 afterwards learned , was one of those priests whom the then Duchess of Norfolk usually sent out in that dress to make proselytes . Let Dr . Stock say , how far he would have assented to his doctrine * A few
days after this encounter , I went into a dining house in Piccadilly , where 1 found ten or a dozen gentlemen . One of them was an avowed priest , who , declaiming upon the virtues of bloody Queen Mary , asserted that she never put any man to death , who was not guilty of high treason . He next began
to vindicate the practice of Popish priests in preaching in Latin , saying , that St . Paul always preached in Latin , To this I replied , that he did so at Rome , because that was the language of the place , as he always addressed the people in the language which they understood , and severely blamed those who did otherwise . In Greece ,
therefore , he spoke Greek , and would , if he had been in this country , have addressed them in the language spoken here , whatever that was . Our priest immediately retired , a-nd the people
then thanked me , for what I thought any one of them might have said . I wondered what sort of preachers they usually attended , who did not enable them to answer the weak assertions
of so presumptuous a man . 1 wish that your Correspondent , in your last Number , [ p . 489 >] who speaks of the Devil , had given his own sentiments concerning that

" These lines were addressed to the Rev . Harry Toulmin , who was lately minister of a Dissenting congregation at Chowbent , near Manchester , but is since removed to America , where he is elected President of the Transylvania or Kentucky . College , and is also invited to officiate as minister to a few
persons at Lexington , who wish to attend public worship , conducted in a manner different from what is usual in America . " The College must be that of which € t
Morse thus speaks : The legislature of Virginia have made provision for a College in Kentucky , and have endowed it with very considerable landed funds * The Rev . John Todd has
given a handsome library for its use . " { Amer . Geoff . 1792 , p . 406 . ) That an Unitarian should be appointed president of this college ^ was a worthy instance of liberality . Mr . Toulmin , as is well known , has , for several years ,
held a judicial situation in another part of America - , but what has been the history of the small congregation of UnitarianSf for such they must have been , among whom he was ** invited to officiate" ? R .-TV ^^— ^^
