    my plan , It appeared to her in a ranch more favourable light , and she then advised me to send it to the Rev . T / ieophilus Lindzey . With this advice I readily complied . Mr . Lindsey ' s answer was , that he felt muck obliged

    to me for the plan I had sent to him ; it ^ had his warmest approbation , and h& would rejoice to see it carried into . effect . At liis time of life , his great age and infirmities prevented him froin taking any active part in it , but he would gladly assist those who did .

    Thus had I , apparently , exhausted all my reasoning and all my zeal in vain . I was thrown back upon myself , and had scarcely a ray of hope left . Something , however , 1 imagined might turn up favourable to rny

    wishes : I would not despair , and in the njeantitne I determined to do what I could in my own sphere of exertion : those among whom I then lived will bear me testimony ^ that I did not recommend to others what I was

    unwilling- to do myself . I worked hard all the week , as I had nothing but labour to support me . I sat lip at nights to read , and composed the " Narrative of the York Baptists , ' and other works , which I published .

    I preached regularly at York on the Sunday , or went ten iniles into the country for the same purpose ; and this I did for many years with unabated zeal and without the slightest pecuniary reward . On the contrary , it was often attended with actual

    expense ; for what with loss of time and over fatigue , I was worse off than those in my own condition of life . But such was my zeal , that I feared neither labour nor consequences , determined to succeed if possible in the great object which I had in view .

    HERE is , in the meeting of thfc Synod , a goodly sight for you who stickle for the absolute necessity of an Established Church to preserve and propagate religion , notwithstanding the example afforded by the moral and relisficfus condition of elev en millions of your brethren on the other

    side of the Atlantic . You , goad pastors , who have been inducted ifito your parishes by the gentle and most Christian-like arguments of police-batons , fixed bayonets , and drawn swords , — you who can prevail upon your parishioners to pay the last lippy of your

    modified tithes , by the no * less kindly persuasives of hornings and captions , will peiliaps be a little surprised when you are told , that , of the two millions and ninety-three thousand people , tvho compose the population of our

    country , there are more than three huiidred and forty thousand persons who , after paying you for instruction ^ which they never received , and for which , unquestionably , they wotild netef pay , were it not for the said exetfutorials

    of the law—( these peace-speaking tnu nisters of the ministers of the gospel , hornings and captions )—support , in addition , a priesthood of their own choosing—a priesthood for wham no

    regium donum , the pledge aftd reward of political servility and religious indifference , is doled out from an unwilling * exchequer—a priesthood , all of whose members have received an

    education equal , if not superior to your own—a priesthood which numbers among its ranks in the present day more of learning and of zeal in the performance of its duty , than you

    for your life can boast of , with all your comfortable livings , your exchequer-compensations , aud your Chapel-Royal Deaneries . The names of the llev . Dr . Jamiesofi , and of the tlev .

    Dr . M'Crie , as proofs of what I aver , will perhaps not be absolutely strange to you , unless you have really bestowed more of your tim £ than I atti willing to suppose , in meditating profoundly on the original , and , to yotl , most inestimable works of the learned Procurator for the Church - fitowever , this is going * a step too far to -attack
