To the Editor of * the Monthly Repository . Sir , —The enclosed , which I have thrown into the form of a petition to Parliament , will serve at least . to explain why I did not take part in that Petition for the Separation of Church from State , which was brought forward so ably by yourself , and with which I agreed in many points . I am , Sir , yours faithfully , A Clergyman of the Established Church .
That your petitioner was brought up by his step-father , a clergyman of the established church , in a belief of the doctrines of the church of England , and that in his preparation for the ministry of the established church , your petitioner , both in his examination for a degree , and in his examination for orders , received testimonials of the approbation of the university in which he was educated , and of the bishop of the diocese in which he was ordained . That your petitioner was not unsuccessful in his ministration during the time his health allowed him to undertake the active
duties of his profession , having established and conducted the management of a daily school for poor children in the parish intrusted to his care , and having more than doubled the number of the congregation which attended the services of the church in which he ministered . That falling into bad health , in consequence of exertions he
made in studying for his degree , your petitioner was obliged to relinquish the active duties of his profession , but continued to pursue his theological studies , till he had obtained clear views on many important subjects . That some of these views were published by your petitioner in the Quarterly Review , * and afterwards , being republished in a separate form , were spoken of with praise by the Edinburgh
Keview , and would have opened to your petitioner a road to preferment , if he could have been satisfied to suppress further statements of truth . * la two reviews of the Despondency of Cowper and the Enthusiasm of Newton .
