of " ttjie * Jews and of the Roman authoritic : s , he at length , after giving his closing adinonttion to- " tlje disciples , was gradually withdrawn from their view , and passed into the celestial state by ascending towards the visible heavens .
Agreeing with the late venerable Mr .

' which was in fact realized in the first instance at his resurrection . But he resumed , on . several occasions , the ordinary form of humanity for the purpose of fully proving his resurrection ; on such occasions he introduced or
withdrew himself in a ruanne , r which evinced his usual existence Jn au invisible state ; and by these ' re . pc ^' te . 4 alternations from and to th p ; tc au ^ maj , ' , ^ i ; d ' * spiritual ** condition of ma , n , ?( h ^ r 4 f ^ : i 9 n'stratc ^ fc ^ at the essentjal ^ aui ' eiie ^ s Qf . person can be preserved au ^ id gr ^ te ' r . and more incoucrivjible cl ^ an ^ ejs , \ i } tiie ^ Qdity frame t ^ an are tnclSept io H l ) y ai ^ yof tjieoper ^ ttjons of nature .

Some Account of a Nets Doctrine tdtel y discovered in Scotland . v ' To th& Editor . „ Edinburgh , « iR , Jan . 26 , 1830 . In this modern Athens of ours , the disp ' trfe ' a of the inhabitants , like those
which used to agitate the ancient city of that name , were wont to turn chiefly on politics ; but as we are now pretty nearly of one mind with regard to affairs of State , and the old distinctions of Whig and Tory are almost forgotten , religious controversy has come in place of political , and the bitter strife between two
of our leading divines on the subject of the Apocrypha having subsided , ( apparently from the language of abuse being exhausted in the course of the contest , ) another dispute is now raging on the endless topic of what is to be done , or rather what is to be believed , to be saved ; a dispute from which , as from all discussions which lead men to reflect
on the attributes and moral government of the Deity , much ultimate advantage to the cause of truth , and a gradual advancement of that light which , however long it may be obscured , is destined at length to illuminate the world , may , I think , be expected .
This bellum plusquam civile ^ in which , as usual , one party can find no word but damnable sufficiently strong to express its opinion of the doctrines of the other , has arisen in cousequence of a treatise lately published by a gentleman of the law , Thomas Erskine Esq ., Advocate , who equally travelled out of his own profession some years ago , to favour the world with ' * Remarks on the Internal
Evidence for the Truth of the Christian Religion . " The ' niiaibcr of edition ' s through which this latter vyork is ' said to have passed , is only another proof of the aptitiicje of $ he ntiman niind to receive and cWish rimioiis of u ine * SfoprVftW Being suft&l not ; tb ifis n'ature , btiV to tVe
