We have been destined to witness extraordinary occurrences in these latter days . Civil distinctions on account of religious opinions are fast passing away . Wonders pass before our eyes , but we perhaps deceive ourselves if we expect the current to be all of a healing teadency . ISew efforts will be made by the friends of corrupt systems to support old abuses , and our author , among the rest , has buckled on his armour in a conflict which
requires champions of a character the more adventurous , as it becomes more and more desperate .

Archbishop Laud , we are told , «• died a martyr for the Church of
