Letter from Job Or ton Miich more pungent than his " Expositions , " Mr . Gibson ' s further Questions to Dr . Smith . l > r . Smith says , that Justification admits not of degrees . But will not our rewards be
proportioned to our justification ; and does not St . Paul say , that men will he rewarded according to the deeds , &c . - and does not according here imply different degrees ? But probably I misunderstand the whole subject of Justification . I only ask Dr . Smith's patience and forgiveness .
Two Letters of Dr . Parr ' s . Worth two of Cicero ' s .
Testimony of Josephus to Christ . This is the kind of critique of which I before wished to see more instances among * the English Reviewers . It is a compact , modest , faithful report of what the author has done .
A Presbyterian on the Evangelical Declaration of War . Absolutely unanswerable .
Mr . James on the Charge of Plagiarism . Little is the matter mended for Mr . James . New Version of Isaiah ' s celebrated Prophecy respecting Jesus Christ . The title of this paper may to some
readers savour a little of the assumption manifested in our English Bible , ( circulated by the Bible Society , without note or comment !) which heads the first chapter of John ' s Gospel with * ' The Divinity of Jesus . " For it is
still , I presume , an agitated question , whether the fifty-second and fifty-third chapters of Isaiah actually refer to Jesus Christ . It cannot be doubted that some of the expressions must be
violently distorted , before they can correspond with the circumstances of our Saviour ' s history , as related by the Evangelists . Be this as it may—how does the employment of a few particles in this translation undermine the
common doctrine of the atonement , which receives so much support from the authorized version 1 I do not agree with the Editor as to the expediency of onrrittinv- the Hebrew and Welsh of ins learned correspondent . As
respects the Hebrew , why would not the corrections to which he alhides , be as interesting to his readers aa the numerous criticisms and specimens of that tongue , which adorn almost every number of his magazine ? Many of

with no little curiosity . Review . lVeUbeloved s Three Additional Letters . Dr . Priestley ' s ** daring position *' respecting our Saviour ' s misinterpretation of the prophecies , is too
shocking for any Unitarian to defend . I would rather adopt the most farfetched scheme of interpreting the Evangelists , or the wildest theory of the compilation of the Gospels , them . one so much derogating ff om the character of Jesus as a heaven-commit
sioned teacher . The * ' Canon of Suppression , * by which the Archdeacon of Cleveland says that Unitarians would prove the Unitarianisin of Newton , is a very good canon until positive proof is
brought to the contrary . I presume that , in theology , every man ought to be supposed an Unitarian , until he is shewn to be otherwise ; in the same manner as , in law , every fiaan is presumed to be iunocent , until he is proved gailty . Bruce ' s Sermons on the Study of the Bible . Some parts of these extracts disgust one by an appearance of trimming , hinting at times a great deal more than the author dares to
speak out , and breaking out into liberal conclusions at one time , which at another he would s ^ eern to shrink from . —Is Arianism such an heterogeneous , ill-compacted system ,, —or is the present author distracted between a
sentimental attachment to the doctrines of u his grandfather and Haliday , of Drennan and Brown , of Mackay and Crombie /'—and the increasing light of the age pouring resistlessly into his eye ?
