    others , v # ry for x * gf superiors in influence and atteunmenfe . The London Society b y its Preface frightened many Anti-trinitarians fr&m openly declaring against the Trinity : and the effect of this Preface so often

    impeded my wishes to have the support of those worthy individuals , that I proposed to the Southern Society , a Jew years after it was formed , to adopt a . declaration that , by takW the term

    Unitarian they did nut sanction the interpretation given it b y the London Preamble . The proposition was acted on , in a -degree , aad I have reason to think it has been attended with

    beneficial results , by assisting ~ Low Arians to empty then |§^ tras of the opinion that Jesus emptied himself of his pristine glory * in order to sojourn on earth .

    The sermons which have been preached bef ^ e this Society , have most of them been as properly Unitarian , as the properest Unitarian could desire . These sermons have been published ; and will challenge examination for clearness of diction On this head , with

    any discourses , not excepting those which have been deUv ^ ed . before . the Western Society , or the Uaitaxdam Fund itself . Ana one of the preachers , whose " Sermon on the Attributes < 6 tf

    promulgator of what is called by some the proper Unitarian doctrine . Thus , Sir , I really think Mr . Belsham need not fear any harm to the Unitariaa cause , by / throwing open our arms and our gates . to the Ariaas . It ^ vill lead to their conversion , and

    through the doors , thus opened to them , the King of glory wftl come i » # 4 I perhaps * Sir , should bog your pardon for obtruding these ( trite rmrb upon you ; bi * t having been for # « nae yews Secretary to the ^ u , them IJ / Hir tanan Safety , having seen its eflfeets , aaviag had repeated importunities * rf knowing how * xmch it conciUat ^ d < qm f ^ m bi ? eth ^ i ^ I felt ^ yeelf impelkd , J [ ^^ e love I ib ^ ar ^ niir caw ^ e , J % ^» f ^ us wa ^ eh . „ . . -p G JQ&i ^^ jRyj ^^ i ^• b , Mr .

    Sir , AS you have Scottish Correspondents > I b ^ g leave to suggest to them , that it would be very acceptable to some of your readers if they would draw up a meaiMiir of the unfortunate

    this the same gentleman who ^ as Lord Advocate , has lately % urcd in tl \ e House of Commons ? In summing up the cause , Lord Eskgrove , referring to the Address , dated " DuiMlee , Berean Meetings House , July 1793 / ' for which Mr , Palmer was prosecuted , says , " Mr .
