harrfly expected that a Unitarian would l > e found who would stigmatize the plain truths which the author of " Episcopal Innovation * ' brings fai > ward , with the epithet of tM biting , " or insinuate that " passion or the supposed influence of the spirit has prompted him to worry and devour ^* the Bishop of Peterborough .
The question seems to q © in a narrow compass . The Evangelical or Calvinistic party are the oaly individuals in the kingdom who are sincere members , for conscience * sake , of the Established Church . They are the genuine disciples of Crannaer , of Latimer and of Ridley : that they are , as well as Dr . Marsh , zealous admirers
of the union of Church and State , therp can be no doubt ; but their engagements are of a religious , Ms of a political nature . Yet with them remains that Protestant spirit of which we must take a long farewell , if ever Dr . Marsh carries his exterminating
designs into execution . By their means has the Bible been sent , without the accompaniment of creeds and catechisms , over the greatest part of the habitable globe . To them , it appears to me , that Dissenters owe a large debt of gratitude , and however Unita * -
riaas may feel themselves exeepted from their friendl y regards , I should think they must look upon them as honegt and open antagonists . If is well known that in several c ^ sep the Evangelical Clergy have been treated
with great harshness by their spiritual superiors , for | io other crime than that of 3 , rigid adherence to the doetrines of that Church , from which attempts are making to eject them as spurious members . On this ground ,
as conscientious individuals , they have , I conceive , ftyr higher claims to the sympathy of Dissenters than the Iprdiy priest , who at one time declaims against them for joining with sectarians in the
distributio n of the Scriptures , kisinurating that they believe too little , at another , carefully puts bis own sense Upon the Articles , test they should believe too tnueh , —that fa as much as those Articles plainly include .
I am quite aware that the peculiar Version manifested by the Evangelical party against Unitarian principles , hap & tendency to mislead them , ( the * Jnifomftne , ) and incline their judgments «* favour of the High Chuwtomfi * ,
