which would disgrace a schoolboy or a ballad-singer , let these abuses , too , be corrected forthwith . Let them manifest , in all their proceedings , a spirit of promptness and activity , of fearlessness and superiority to prejudice ,
and then we shall see less reason than we do now to regret that some of the noblest geniuses that ever adorned the sacred profession , should be confined within the pale of an established church , instead of exulting in the free range , and inhaling the invigorating atmosphere , of religious liberty .

- ( Continued from p . 457 . ) We now resume our chronological arrangement of our Lord ' s Ministry , with the third of those parts into which ( p . 454 ) we divide our Monotessaron . *
Part III . Transactions connected with the Feast of Tabernacles : about which time , probably , the Baptist was imprisoned . This part of our Lord's Ministry is recorded exclusively by the Apostle John ; and his account of it forms a remarkable portion of his Gospel . With the exception of ch . vii . 1 , it occupies the whole of the viith and
following chapters , to the 21 st verse of the xth , —the preceding part of which chapter should not have been separated from the ixth . The vivid and indeed graphic narration which the Evangelist has given of the leading occurrences at the Tabernacles , indicates the pen of an eye-witness , and gives us a strong impression of the importance of them in the history of our Lord's conduct towards the Jews . Considering that all the Jews of Palestine were under a general obligation to attend this Festival—as well
as the Passover and the Pentecost—it is an inadmissible supposition that the transactions recorded by St . John could have occurred after the call of Matthew , without that Evangelist giving some account of them , or at least referring to them as having actually taken place : and as none of the first three Evangelists have made any allusion to them , and the train of their narrations does not supply any suitable position for the occurrence of them
* We must beg the reader to make the following corrections in our last article . In the middle of p . 450 , read ( ch . viii . 18—ix . 26 ) ; and in line 12 from the bottom , know for knew . In p . 451 , read ch . i . 16—ii . 22 , and ch . iv . 35—v . 43 . And at the end of the note in p . 453 , read , " as it must have been , if on the same day , " ( that is , if delivered , ; on the same day , ) " with the miracle at Peter ' s house . *' The accidental omission of the if destroys the sense .
