jAriu ' AUY- ' * The Divinity of Christ : ** P . 81 OUR highly-valued American correspondent asks the Editor if an Unitarian could \ vitb perfect good faith adopt the phrase " the divinity of Christ" ? We answer , that Vn common acceptation the expression roirfit imply the deitti of Christ , and
therefore on the lipS or from the peri of an Unitarian it ought not to be used without explafc&ti ' ori . With this , fteare advocates for the phrase . The divinity of Christ , in strictness of speech , is the Same £ ts the divinity of Christianity- Christianity is divine as a revelation from God ; Christ is divine as the messenger bringing- this
Iieavenly revelation . 1 he use of the terra , properly guarded , mig'lit * take from gainsayers one of their ambiguous charges ; for when they accuse Ufiit&riaiis of denying duh Lord ' s ' dirnitiity , they may meuti only liis essential deity and equality with the Father ; lut they are , vVe believe , generally understood by the cotbmon people to mean the heavenly origin of the
gospel , ot at least thfc divine inspiration of its great Rev 6 aler . This , Unitarians assert as strongly as any Christians , and thfey apjtear to us to b £ wrong in giving tip tb thefr oppbnerfts ' the language which thily expresses their own faeWs . If Christians ar # raade by Christ "partaken of the ditint nature /* ( 2 Pet ' , i . 4 , ) they ' may surely term Christ divine and asafcrt his divinity as " the Christ of pod , ' without deviating from

He says m a note , p . 508 , ** The eloquence of Hooker has been deservedly praised 5 but the justice of the epithet 'judicious / which his admirers have attached tx > his name , is rather more questionable .

P-39 , The writer is assured by a magistrate for * the county of Middlesex , who has been some years in the Commission of the Peace , that he never took nor has been required to take this test , and that hfc believes his Case is By no frieans singular .
