      life and ministry of Jesus Christ , ( of which the fact of his p re-existence made no part ) without frequently recurring to it ?

      The pre-existence of Jesus Christ , if it were a fact , could only be kn < vn from his discourses . Now it does not appear to have "been the object of the three former evangelists to record those dis ± .

      courses ; they confine themselves chiefly to his actions , his mir ( a- > cles and his parables , of which little ih to be found in the gospel of John ; it was not natural therefore for them to introduce into their histories the doctriqe of his pre-existence . On the contrary , it was the principal object of John

      To the Editor of the Monthly Repository .

      sin , June 11 , 1808 . T wish to correct an error in Mrs . Cappe ' s Memoir of the late Rev . Mr . Wood , inserted in -yo ' ur last Repository ; and your respect for truth will , I am persuaded , induce you to admit this gentle corrective . Mrs . C . states Mr . Wood ' s bfrjing chosen to the ministry of Mill-hill chapel in jLeea ' s in 1773 . " on the removal

      lists , in which alone , if he taught the doctrine of his pre-existence ^ we may expect to find- it , and ought to look for it , and not in the other evangelists ; theirsiience therefore as to that fact , is no argument against its truth or cre - dibility .

      I intend in another Letter , with your permission , to state the evidence . for that fact arising from the discourses of our Lord recorded by the evangelist John and from

      some passages in the epistolary books of the New Testament , and to examine , the arguments by which Mr . B . endeavours to set

      aside that evidence . In the mean time 1 remain , Your ' s , &c . JOHN MARSOM .

      to question his authority , ) I find that Dr Priestley was recommended to his lordship * ' as a person qualified to be a literary companion to him . " And further that " his office was nominally that of librarian , but that he hud little . employment as such besides arranging his books , taking a catalogue of them and of i * * * i * i

      IMS manuscripts , whicn were numerous , and making an index to his private papers . In fact , he was , with him as a friend , and ia the second year made with him the tour of Flanders * &c / ' See JVJeruoirs , &c . page JXy-. 7 % \ Thus it appears to me that pr .
