Church a * its ministers ; and those who want to manufacture political influence out of the name of religion , by rendering its emoluments and honours subservient to the purposes of a faction . The
disappointment of these church-mongers is all the inconvenience , to any class , that would be produced ; and this is a very good inconvenience . The struggle for supremacy and monopoly on the oae hand , and for the redress of grievances on the other , would die into peace . The Dissenters would lay down their arms and
disperse to their separate theological quarters . The Church would rise in spiritual character ana moral influence . The clerical corporation would be broken up , and a foul incubus heaved off the nation ' s heart , which now presses down every breathing after political , intellectual , or social improvement . And this matter shall be clearly understood . However loudly the craft may cry * Great is Diana of the Ephesians , ' and however gentljf certain of the Dissenters may whisper that the Whigs will be endangered , neither can stop the discussion . If the Whigs be endangered on the one side , let them be endangered on the other side also . A gentle tap in one direction might strike them down ; but two hard blows in opposite directions may keep them upright . At any rate there would be comfortable consolation for their fall in that of the political hierarchy . So let Earl Grey modify his
* hostility / for it were pity that this should be selected for the only point on which his Administration is to be ' uncompromising , And now that it begins to be taken up in its true character as a question , not between Dissenters and Churchmen , but between
the nation and the clergy , he will find that others can be uncompromising too . That such is its true ^ harac ter must appear even from this brief explanation of what is comprised in the words ' Separation of Churefltond State . '

of the Science , but of its leading doctrines and most ^ mportant applications , as taught by the highest contemporary authorities . for a science is a connected body of truth ; the entire philosophy of some distinctly definable portion of the field of nature : and when it is taught as Science , that is , with a view to the perfection x > f speculative knowledge rither than to the readiness of practical application , the teacher kirns at making such a selection of iU truths , and at presenting them in such an order , as will « lUiwtnrtiom . « " of Potfftioml Bco&oay , No .
