proves that the practice of Christians immediately after the Apostolic Age" was consonant to the present usage of the Christian Church, as well as to that of the ancient Jewish Synagogue. It is stated in the title-page that the volume is "printed for the author," and we are informed that, for reasons not necessary to be detailed, it is extremely desirable that the public should so far patronize it as to exonerate him. This alone would not induce us to recommend the work; but we confess that it increases our desire to bespeak the favour of our readers for a publication which on the ground of its merits is entitled to no small portion of praise. sake of ministerial patronage and parliamentary votes. The Letter-writer laughs at the office of a Dissenting "deacon;" but he must allow the Dissenters to look with as little veneration upon a Churchof-England bishop. The "moderation" of the Church of England is much vaunted by this author; but if we are to judge of the mother by her sons, we must dispute the boast, for the public is sickened with the high priestly claims that are set up at every Visitation, and sorely aggrieved by the rigour with which ecclesiastical dues are constantly enforced. True, the church does not persecute Nonconformists, but let the Bishop of St. David's say, whether this tolerance of hers be owing to a tender regard to conscience, or to legislative enactments by which "heresy" is taken from the cognizance of the priest, and put under the protection of the magistrate. Our Churchman appeals to "the history of the last two hundred years" for the fact, "that the different Non of the intolerance of a Dissenting for liberty of conscience, have uniMinister and his congregation, (see formly endeavoured to seize every opthe Review of the account of Mr. W. portunity of suppressing all modes of Clayton's 'Extraordinary Proceed- worship but their own:" the reproach ings" in our last number, pp. 504, ought to be felt by such Dissenters 505,) to disparage and revile Noncon- as those of the "Abbey-Lane Meetformists in general, and to chaunt the ing" at Saffron-Walden, that make praises of his own church, "the best-popes of their ministers and cherish constituted church in the world." We forgive his jokes and gibes at Dissent: for these Mr. W. Clayton has to answer, it being the necessary consequence of outrageous, unchristian conduct like his to provoke the sneer and to aid the triumph of the champions of political churches, churches by law established on the ruins of the fundamental principles of the gospel: yet, we think that this "Member of the Church of England" has not chosen the fittest moment to extol the frame of the national ecclesiastical polity, and to claim for his church apostolical discipline;" a moment, when the distress of the leading interests of the country causes the Church to be felt an insupportable burden, and when certain occurrences have filled the community with shame and indignation at the open traffic in church benefices and the corrupt appointments to episcopal rank for the bigotry as an idol; but it falls point- New Publications. ent with piety to send inquirers for their opinions to prophets and apostles, rather than to the Reformers; though it might not be quite so safe for the reputation of a church whose kingdom is of this world, whose ministers are called Fathers and exercise lordship, whose creeds are contradictory and one of them abundant in curses, and whose worship consists of "vain repetitions." Knowing little of the people at Saffron Walden whom this "Member of the Church of England" and Mr. W. Clayton jointly reproach in the same spirit and nearly the same terms, we must leave them to defend them 567 selves from the gross charge (p. 2) of "setting up the Devil's code, and calling it the gospel of Jesus Christ;" but we dismiss the subject with remarking, that if they be proved to be Antinomians in theory, they may retort upon their opponents as Antinomians in practice, who trample upon the evangelical law of love, uphold their cause by excommunications, the instruments by which "the Man of Sin" has ever defended his throne, and in default of convincing such as differ from them, pursue and vex them with insinuations, menaces and revilings.
