    men ; " or , more folly in Art . XXXI ., ** the offering of Christ onte made , is that perfect redemption , propitiation , and satisfaction , for all the'sins of the whole world , both original and actual ; and there is none other satisfaction for sin but that alone . " If this be not the highest form of the doctrine of Atonement , where shall we find language to describe it ? And this is the doctrine of the Church of England , a doctrine set forth in the Articles agreed

    upon by the archbishops and bishopg of both provinces , and the whole clergy , for avoiding of diversities of opinions . If the dignitaries of the Church , and the inferior clergy and the laity , are not believers in the doctrines now commented upon , why are not these doctrines disowned ? So long as I hear of the clergy signing the Articles , I conclude that the majority do not disbelieve them ; and so long as their flocks pray to God in the forms of the Common Prayer , I cannot but suppose they entertain the notions which they express .

    Will Clericus Cantabrigiensis tell me what he imagines the great mass of professed Christians , whether in the Establishment or out of it , do , in fact , believe ? Does he imagine that they enter into all the glosses and explanations , the cautions and the provisos , of a few learned and iagenious writers , or that they take their opinions from the creeds and formularies of their respective churches ? Do they understand words in their most obvious sense , or are they all cunning workmen in the arts of casuistry and cri * - ticism ?

    R . A . M . P . S . Mr . Frend seems to have fallen into an old mistake as to the meaning of the words Trinitarian and Unitarian .

Unity is indeed o ? ieness 9 and Trinity is threeness , but of what ? Does the Trinitarian , by taking

    that name , mean that he believes in three Gods ? Certainly not ; but that he believes the one God is three persons . So the Unitarian by his profession means not merely that there is one God , but that God is one person . For a Trinitarian to call himself an Unitarian , is quite as absurd as that the Unitarian should claim the epithet of Trinitarian . Norwich .

    To the Editor . Sir , Dublin , Sept . 22 . I have but this moment seen a letter of Clericus Hibernus in your Review for April last , and hope you will admit a contradiction of a gross misstatement which it contains . From feelings of affection to the place where I was educated , I cannot suffer his remarks upon the University of Dublin to remain uncontradicted , conscious that the cause is too good to be injured by my ignorance . Your correspondent ' s first charge is , that the

    library is inaccessible to the stranger or the uninitiated . Now , I defy him to produce a single instance of any respectable person being refused access to the library , even though he had never been a member of the Unfofefisity . Perhaps the fault is , that the governing part of the College are too liberal of their permissions , as the library has suffered materially , and the number of readers there every day is too great for -comfort , I admit an oath must be
