such great and visible support was granted to Moses and Aaron in the execution of their office , over a handful of men , what may not the Messiah , the only Mediator between God
and men , the Saviour of the world , aad Judge of the whole earth , be honoured , assisted and favoured with , at the last great day , during" that infinitely solemn and important assize ? And what can be more congruous
than that He who was present , with bis angels , in Sinai , at the giving out of the law , and whose words they are , should be again present , with his myriads of angels , when so many of his creatures will be called to account
concerning their obedience to those and others of his sacred precepts ? Psa . 1 . 1—7- JOSEPH JEVANS .
P . S . As to the objections that may be made to these things from the absence of the Greek article in the original text , it may be observed , that the rule is so often departed from , and it is so evident that two persons are mentioned here * that its omission
is scarcely worth a senous thought . What Dr . Middleton says , at p . 93 , may surely be applied here : " The second article should , in strictness , have been expressed $ but in such cases the writer knew that it might be safely understood . "

the Editor of this work , in his Preface , " were submitted to the inspection , but not to the disposal of a meeting representing the religious Society of Friends in New England / ' In 179 / ,
this meeting , it seems , " promoted the printing of a very extensive edition of parts of his Journal , " and in 1801 concluded , " that the doctrinal part " of it " be lodged with the Meeting ' s papers , until way opens for its further disposition . "
In 1806 , some of his " MSS . were reported and read , with which the Meeting is so far satisfied as to have them fairly copied , with such corrections as are therein made ! " And in . the same year , those MSS . " were
presented to the Meeting copied , and another MS . [ also ] was referred" to a ; committee of four Friends , " to make : such corrections of them as may appear necessary .
Finally , in 1820 , these writings of Job Scott ' s < c were again considered , and the sentiments of several Friends expressed thereon . " The consequences of this reconsideration are
thus described by the Meeting : ** The general tenor of the pieces , " those now published " has had the manifestation of unity—yet for want of satisfactory evidence that the present is a suitable time to authorize a further
procedure , the subject is referred until its revival may be approved . " " Under these discouraging circumstances / 5 says the Editor , " the Meeting having taken copies for its future use , our friend Daniel Anthony , the author ' s father-in-law , obtained the
original MSS ,, from which individuals have since taken copies . And as many Friends are desirous of possessing the work , to prevent mutilation , and to supply the demand , it lias been deemed expedient to publish the original by means of the press . "
Such are the claims to authenticity under which the work was published , from which the following extracts have been faithfully made , not even distinguishing any other words in italics , than such as are so printed in the work , which is entitled , '' Salvation by Christ / ' printed in Philadelphia ,

Sir , March 7 , 1825 , YOUR readers have been informed , through various channels , of the open profession of Unitarianism among the American Friends , and of the futile attempts made at Philadelphia and
elsewhere to stop its progress . I am now able to furnish them , by your permission , with a few extracts from an author who was of much celebrity amongst them , both in Great Britain
and in America , who has been deceased more than thirty years . Even the records of the Yearly Meeting in London , and the Half-year ' s Meeting of Friends in Ireland , where he died in 1793 , will attest the high estimation in which he was held as a minister in
close unity with the body , of which the Meetings he was a member of , in New England , bore amply testimony soon after his decease . " All , or nearly all , thje writings of our beloved friend , " Job Scott , says
