    obligatknis aa an historian , Meal reflates the existence of suspicions concerning the cause of the untimely death of Henry , Prince of Wales . The prelate animadverts on our author ' s language , and calls it abominable . Let Dr . Toulmin * s sensible and candid

    note be read : he properly wishes that Neai had expressed himself in more guarded terms , but shews that the ia ^ sinuations in question did not originate with him , and that they were sanctioned by the prevailing opinion of the times , and countenanced by the conduct of James I .

    ( 53 ) 107 . [ 100 . TJ In these an-( 54 ) lb . [ Ib . T . J notations Warburton repeats opinions already delivered by him respecting the doctrinal theology , the discipline and the views of the Puritans . But the prelate ' s judgment on these things , will not affect the fidelity and credit of our

    historian . ( 55 ) 115 . [ 107 . T . ] Bishop War . burton supplies a circumstance omitted by Neal ; I mean , the effect of Episcopius * defence in rendering Joha Hales , as he himself declared , Anticalvintstic . Nevertheless , it does not

    appear that Hales had been , at any period , the friend of Calvinism . ( 56 ) 118 . [ 110 . TV } The prelate takes some language ot King James I . as ironical : his construction of it is doubtful , but of no importance to the present subject .

    ( 57 ) 120 . [ 111 . TVJ Warburton is not willing to allow the Scots clergy the praise of acting with the caur tion and temper ascribed to them by the historian . " The bishop , " adds Dr . Toulmin , " did not consider that it is not in human nature , any more than it is consistent with wisdom and moderation , to proceed , though injured and provoked , to extremities at first . That the Scots Presbyterian ministers should have great interest with

    the people was the necessary consequence of their being sufferers for the principles of the kirk and the nation . " ( 58 ) 121 . [ 112 . T . ] The words at which our prelate sneers , are , as in

    some other instances , those of Fuller . ** Where , " he inquires , * was the storm , except in the fanciful author ' s standish ? ' * Let us hear Neat ' s Editor . *• The storm was in the offence Mr . Seklen ' s doctrine gave the clergy , and the indignation of the court which it

    ( 59 ) 125 . [ J 16 . T . J " There were two religions established by law in Bohemia . " These are the words of Jtapin : but , according to Warburtou , the matter is stated erroneously ; fop he tells us that there were not two

    religions , but one only , administering a single rite in a different way . TouU nun ' s note deserves to be copied- it is as follows : " This remark would be accurate , if the difference between the two par- * ties had lain only in this point : but this could not be the ease between the

    Catholics and the Hussites $ the difference between whom extended to many essential heads ; though they were with respect to this matter denominated from one single poinl , , But the Bishop asserts that ' the fancy of two established religions in one state

    is an absurdity . * But absurdities may exist , and this very absurdity exists * and did exist at the time his Lordship wrote , in Great Britain : in one part of which Episcopacy is the established religion , and in the other ( Scotland ) Presbyterianism ;"

    Let it be subjoined , thai the Editor ' s conclusion admits ot being strengthened by further reasoning and additional examples , and that such reasoning and examples are at hand ; though time does not suffer or the subject require them to be produced . In pursuing the history , I transcribe & memorandum which I iraacle a few

    years ago : ( 1810 , Oct . 30 . ) [ 122 . T . ] " They called the place of their settlement by the name of New Plymouth . " " I learn from the Rev . Mr . Harris , [ Dr . T . M . Harris , ] of Dorchester , near Rnftt . nn . N \ A . that thtf > a <* . RAtt ] f » ra mtrtn

    after their landing met with an Indian who could speak their native language , and who was of great service to them among his tribe . This man had been kidnapped to Europe , and had lived in Great Britain , but afterwards , by some means or other , returned to his own country . —J . K . "

    The narrative concerning Mr . Ro binson and his friends , and his vale dictory address to them , are uncom inoflly instructive and affecting .
