&n the * Rightt b / the Magistrate to punish Utibelietei's . lifTTEB HI . ; ' * Chichester , - Sim ^ n ;• £ August 12 , 1820 . SHOULD be little worthy of the I notice Mr . BelsbanTiias done me the honour to bestow on me , ( pp . 346 , 347 , ) if-1 was not / sensible of its value . He needs not to be informed of the
estimation in which I hold him , or how highly I prize his unwearied exertions in the cause of genuine Christianity , rational religion , and practical virtue . If , therefore , I have die boldness to avow myself not altogether convinced by what he has said , he will ascribe this perseverance on my part to any
cause rather than to disrespect towards himself ; nor will he deem it a vain compliment if I say , that to differ from him : on subjects such as that now under our discussion , must be regarded by crrexy one desirous of reasoning correctly , as a powerful inducement to review with greater care and attention the grounds of his dissent .
- I wiU , as briefly as I can , touch on the several articles of his last communication to the Monthly Repository affixing corresponding numbers to my remarks . 1 .. I wish not to be considered , and I do not know that , from any thing I have said , I ought to be considered as an . advocate for the infliction of civil
penalties on Unbelievers , and on that account must take the liberty to cota ^ plain of the running litfte whriteh appears on ot £ ie * pages occupied » b y vMi \ * Belsthamr ' s letter . * ' I hope this misapjVre henaioii of my meaning is not general , for it ; is : akin t * o theiiiifstake of Mr .
