mangted quotation *> f half a sentence of scripture , tvtn from its 'cownexlott , aitd with its meaning tims disguised , it can li&ixily be consirfered as less than a perversion of ® efiptwm . If David , when ke wrot <^ PsfeUh < ii . « had

But the fact is , that , w hen h « had said in the 16 th verse , * ' For ttuw 'defcirsst not sacrifice , efee v ^ ould 1 ^ i ^ e it : tboia de iightest no * in faurat ^ ffetiiig , " toe proceeds ia the 17 tk > 4 jF Tiie -sacrifices of God are a and
broken sphil ; ^ a b roken a contrite heart , h $ God , thou wilt nat despise / 5 Thus # e see , that instead of paying , like M . Strauss , that his sacrifices would have ^ i reconciling vi rtne ,
if presented with a reference to the Messiah ; David places all his hope in the free mercy of God , who would not despise a contrite heart . This seems to me clearly to prove , that he had never heard or thought oi : such a doctrine as that of Satisfaction . Isa .
improves the same with respect to that prophet , for , after very strongly expressing the vanity of sacrifices , vers * 10- —15 , instead t > f sayiag , as the believers in the doctrine of SatirfacjtioR do > that sacrifices have a reconciling virtue , if presented with a reference to the Messiah , Isaiah says , vers , 16

forigiveiiess of their « ins is not made to depend upon the anticipated sacrifice of tha Messiah , but on the free mercy of Jehovah , who would pardoa them , if they ceased from doing evil and learned to do well .

Bloxham , SiK i Jttfy 26 , 1824 . HAVE a < ef ^ % hteg $ tto say to ; yo ^ I on the following passage , Rom . »»¦»¦¦¦• 'O . tf TP Vv «» »* _ ««^! A < tlk Vk-r »« T *> i w » rf-i- ^ §¦ ! -& < - vni 9 ** If aft have not the
. : y mm . spirit of Christ , he is none of his . " This passage of sctipture is supposed to assert $ h&t every real Christian possesses the virtuous and pious tempfer of Jesus Christ . But I shall endea ^
vour to prove that it refers to the miraculous ^ ifts of the Spirit of God . I . The A * postle had spoken of the Christian temper just before ; see vers . 4—9 , where he asserts that the Christians of Rome were not in the
flesh , but in the spirit ; not carnally minded but spiritually minded . And , then , II . He proceeds to proof that they were partakers of it . He , in effect , says that it was so , ' * If so be that ) the spirit of God dwell in you , " ver .
9 ; that is , if they were possessed of the miraculous gifts of the Spirit . Now , it has beea observed that , " In the time of the gospel dispensation , those , in general , who embraced Christianity were invested with some miraculous gifts . * When the penitent Jews , on the day of Pentecost , asked
the apostles what they should do , Peter replied , •* Repent , and be baptized , &c , for the Remission of sins , aftd ye shall receive tlie gift of the Holy Ghost .. For the promise is tin to you , and to yout children , and to all that are afar off /* Cthe Gentiles , ) * £ as many as the Lord our God shall tf&ll .
