    Peters brought them the passes . Here it may be observed , that Peters questioned every individual , and obliged him to promise " . not to bear arms against the Parliament of England , " which they ajl die ! before their passes were delivered to them . *

    This circumstance shews the zeal with which he laboured in the service of the Republic , and the faithfulness with which he discharged the several trusts that Cromwell and the generals of his'artny reposed in him .

    In the course of the next year 1 find he was engaged in drawing up an address to the army , which he published in a quarto pamphlet , entitled " A Word for the Army , and Two Words to the Kingdom . Forced in

    much Plainness and Brevity from their faithful Servant , Hugh Peters . " This production has all the customary quaintness of the time ; but I do not recollect ever to have read any work of that period , which contains more good advice , or that breathes a better

    spirit . An extract or two will justify this opinion . " Good men , " says he , € C not good laws only , must save kingdoms . What if every fifty in every county were to choose one to

    choose for them . " He proposes , " that salaries may be appointed to all places of trust , that temptations to deceit

    ta"ke not hold of officers . " " That no magistrate , in matters of religion , meddle further than as a nursing father ; then , " says he , " all children shall be fed , though they have different faces and shapes . ' f " That

    burgesses of Parliament maybe better proportioned , and that they give monthly , some account to the places

    intrusting them ; and that some laws may be probationers for a month or two . " " That prisoners for debt may have dispatches , and not lose heads , hearts and hands * as well as heels , in

    a goal ; that the creditor may maintain them in prison ; that poor thieves may not be hanged for thirteen-pence halfpenny , but that they may be employed on the river , or in draining

    Philadelphia , Sir , y June 18 , 181 Q . FEW days ago I had occasion A to look at the 110 th Psalm , in the Essex-Street Liturgy , and found , to-my astonishment , that the word Lord , ih the 5 th verse , is printed in iC

    capitals , thus : The LORD upon thy right hand . " In Dr . Disney ' s Prayer Book of 1802 , the reading is , "JEHOVAH on thy right hand , " i . e . Jehovah on the right hand of Jehovah 1 Were this reading *

    correct , it would follow that there are two Jehovahs at least . What then becomes of Unitarianism ? I regret so great an oversight . The Hebrewword is not Jehovah , but * jn **» a

    lord , master , supporter , base , &c . and has no necessary relation to Deity ; whereas Jehovah is the appropriate name of Him who is self-existent , and

    to our Lord in the New Testament , not casually , but directly and repeatedly , and by authorities which , to my mind , are conclusive . J . T .
