    time Louis XVI . was beheaded , was about the same period ; and ' from the time ' the armies of Justinian carried all before them in Italy , and put down civil and religious liberty , and what -was then called heresy , to the time

    the French armies entered Italy like a flood , in 1796 , was about the same period : from the time the Saxori Heptarchy was compltteiy formed in this island , to the year 1821 ; \\ ill be If 6 o years . These things lead me to make

    the following inquiry : Are there not reasons to conclude that the progressive termination of the ^ things described in prophecy , in connexion with the above quoted notes of time commenced at , or soon after , the era of the French Revolution > Not having- fbe necessary books at hand , I a . m ; not able to make a reference to precise dates ; but am under the necessity of writing from memory .

    If there be reason to conclude that the 1260 ye ^ rs began to be finished , as intimated above , we may soon expect the ronimeurement of a "new series of

    extraordinary events ; for Daniel gives two other periodv-i-one of 1290 days , or years , the other of 1535 ; and according to the / prophecy , Dan . xii . 11 , 12 , something great is to be looked for thirty years after the termination of the IQ 60 ; and what will be most happy , within the lapse of other fortylive years .

    Your insertion of thispapefr , and the remarks of any . of your Correspondents who can cast light on the above subjects , will much oblige SCRUTATOR .

    the essence ai ) dgrouiid 5 # brk of God ' s revealedwill / ^ Is it the third person in the Trinity whom Jesus < alls his Father , from whom . he prbf ^ ssips to have received the doctriii % ^ tiicU he taught , arid the power of working miracles for their ; confirniatioii ? When Paul says , * ' 1 bow my X to the God and

Or is this third person , though in all respects equal with the first , totally overlooked and forgotten both by Christ and his apostles ?

    Let it not be said that " the povrer of the Highest , " which must include the Father , occasioned the birth of Christ ; that is the Unitarian doctrine ; we believe , that he who is one , and his name one , is the Father of vs and of our Lord Jesus Christ ; but the Trinitarian

    maintains the existence of three persons of different names and characters , but of equal power and divinity ; and if we are to understand the Holy Spirit as one of these , the doctrine of the miraculous conception clearly declares him to be the father of Jesus Christ .

    I should rejoice if one of your 01 ^ thodox ' readers would come candidly forward , and give us his sentiments on this strange subject , which seems to me to involve such a maze of contradiction and absurdity , as declares it an

    invention of man in the dark ages of ignorance , rather than a revelation which came down from the ' « Father of JLight . " M . H .

    Sir , March 13 , 3 818 ; ONE of the most curious and . extraordinary dilemmas into which what : is called the orthodox faith , plunges its advocates , amesout of the doctrine of the miraculous " conception , which clearly declares " that , he who

    is universally and exclusively termed the Father , and whom 1 " the Scriptures expressly call " the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , " was not actually his father : but the third person

    in the Trinity , usually called the Holy Ghost . This consideration produces a degree 6 f contradiction and confusion , which must , one might suppose , cduse any rational man * to doubt ; whether such disorder and incongruity tan form
