of a spirit into it by the Holy Ghost in the conception , much less of the same Spirit that made the Holy Ghost , if Creator of all . A creative power if ascribed to the preexistent Son , afi inquiry may arise whether or no it was inherent to his person from his nature , ( with the Father ' s concourse suitable to his
capacity still , ) as in such instances as Gen , i . 1 , 7 > 10 , &c , or it was miraculous absolutely or not effected by a power connate or ititrinsical to him , but such as 2 King's via . 5 , 1 Kings xvii . 16 , Acts iiL 12 , &c « , viz . supernatural , Acts ii . 22 , Judges xvi . 28 . However in either way dependent and ministerial and subservient to God ' s
beck in acting . Others wrought miracles , and * tis ascribed to them as the efficient , Deut . xxxiv . 11 , Acts viii . 6 , 1 Gor * xiu 10 , such as restoring life , &c , but not creation . Elisha and Peter could
receive no such power to be given oi ? subjected in them , tho' at the will of another , because creatures of a limited nature nor capable recipients . Necessary emanation corresponds most to the autotheos ( as light , heat , and motion from the sun or the
faculties froin ^ the soul of man , as of the formal essence , else no sun nor soul ) , and to make out the coeternity and coequality in strict conception . But the very term begotten confronts that
notion , ' tis a voluntary production , and the contrary assertion was condemned of all the east , even the Homoiousians also ( or Homousians in kind meaning it ) as well as Avians . The substratum
to the efficiency or powfers ( that something ) they would have the Father to be , but not God without , but with the other . After all my arguing , I can't be so confident against the Arian as
against the tritheistical Trinitarian . I have little against the former who retain the unity of God and defend it , and think that what they give to Christ don't clash with the rights of <* od , O pj y af which is my doubt .

siop . ; Thq offensive passage is in the article on J ^ J ^ chanics' Institutions and infopt Sefiools , No , JLXiy . p . 410 . It U worthy of notice that this kifttllible organ of opinions hostile to the cause of . general education , confesses
that it cannot discover any solid objections to these excellent institutions ; its exceptions are taken to some mi * nor points only in their constitution * But if it cannot : seriously attack the institutions themselves , it does not
fail to fpperse the strenuous supporter of them , Mr . Brougham . That gentleman would , I imagine , be mueh more surprised if he were to receive the cominecdation rather tli ^ n , the censure of the Quarterly Bevies
The objectional matter in question is a garbled quotation from a pamphlet published by Mr . Brougham * The object in thus misstating the passage of Mr . Brougham's is to make an attack on the excellent Dr . Lindsay , the writer at the same time itnaginiiig that he is levelling a blow at the
venerable Theophilus Lindsey . The quotation given in the Review as if taken verbatim from Mr , Brougham ' s 'VPraiitical Observations / ' p . 21 , is as follows , ' That temporary accommoda tion for the London Institution was
provided at the Chapel in Monkweli Street , formerly Dr . Lindsey ' s ; and if upon such a subject we might make any account of omens , surely a scheme for the improvement of mankind could not be commenced under more un ~
happy auspices than in the place once occupied by that rash and inconsistent misinterpreter of Scripture" See Quar . Rev . p . 421 , note . The words of Mr . Brougham really are , " Surely a scheme for the improvement of mankind could not be commenced
under happier auspices than in the place which so virtuous and enlightened a friend of his country had once filled with the spirit of genuine phi * lanthropy and universal toleration . "
( Practical Observations , p . 21 . ) Mr . Brougham has misspelt Dr . Lindsay ' s name , Lindsay , instead of Lindsay . And the Reviewer , misled by this error or by his ignorance of the characters of the two excellent
individuals , fancying" that they were one and the same , has evidently confound * ed them , or he would not have styled the amiable Dr . Lindsay , who was not distinguished for hi « scriptural
