characters upoti the mind of every professor , of every denomination , throughout the wide extent of Christendom : "It beconaies the All-wiae God , and not mortal man , to be unchangeable . It doth not belong to such poor , imperfefet beings as we afrfe , to * remain for tever immoveable ia all the same opinions thai ; we ^ hwe once indulged , nor to stamp every x sentiment ^ ith iuimortality .

In the Second Epistle of Peter , i . 1 , some manuscripts , instead of ®** , read Kvpi&y so that this passage , allowing the genuineness of the Epistle , cannot be confidently appealed to on the question . Your correspondent : is right in considering the Common . Version
as incorrect . I should , without hesitation , render the passage as if is rendered in the Improved Version , and should extend to the word J , orr ^ p the remark which I made in relation to
the word K& / k * € , nor do I see any sufficient xe ^ son why ; k should not be thus extended . Indeed , when I made thetremark * I conceived that if there were good reason to believe that the canon did not hold good with respect to o * ® £ 0 $ yjfJLtov ncu Kvptoq Jya-ag X ^< f 0 f , it could not hold good with respect
to o € > eo <; yfAcov y . ai tr&TYip Is ^ eraq X /?* $ -o $ . But your correspondent asks , " If o K . vpio $ rtfAUiv kou G&Tiqp lv )< ra <; Xp « $ -o $ is correctly rendered * our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ , ' why should not o ® eo $ yfAuv koci ctwtvjp J .

Christ' ? " To this question my farmer communication will My # what , I think , may be considered ate an answer ; and if your coircspondbnt will do me the favour to read it again , if I mistake not , he will per ^ ei te that , though the grammatical construction of the two passages is tkti same , yet
when the general language bf the apostolic writers is considered , ' there is a circumstance of differeride between them which justifies an adherence to the canon ia ^ the fprmer
instance , and the neglect of it in the latter . It may moreover bfe ofteerved , that when a writer can siispect no danger of being * misunderstood , he may unconsciously fall into a construction which he would otherwise
have avoided . I have reasoned , as your correspondent will perceive , upon the supposition that Peter was the author of the Epistle , and that he wrote &B 8 , not Kvpis .

Memoir of the late Mrs . Fordyce , " ( pp . 44—47 p you have omitted one short extract tvhich appears to me to be peculiarly worthy of a place in your Repository . It refers to the Doctor ' s m&rfiage , which was celebrated by dispensation at his brother Alexander ' s seat at Roehampton , and is as follows : " The Dean of * * * * , who
had been etigaged to perform the ceremony , beg&u and continued to pronounce the words with impressive solemnity till the Doctor had to say , * With iriy body I thee worship / when he substituted the words , ' With my body I thee honour . The Dean repeated * worship ; ' the Doctor repeated ' honour . Three times the Dean
reitferated * worship ;* ' and as often the Doctor , in a voice which inspired 'dWe , repeated ' honour . The digni-^ ry f > au £ fcd ; a momentary red suffused his'dheek : bUt he proceeded ; and the cereitiony was concluded . "CP . 4 * 7 . ) Merfe we see and must admire the of

Sir ,. , . [ " . < , / WHEN I have said the little which I have to 3 ay upon a subject , I cana&t easily , amidst the pressure of my occupations , turn my attention to it a second time ; but as silence in some cases is liable to be
misinterpreted , I think it proper to say a word or two in reply to the observations of your correspondent O , pp . 2 . 9 , 30 .
