      out first enlisting falsehood and calumny into their cause . "—His book is written throughout in a clear , nervous , and elegant style ; the " reasons" are stated with perspicuity ; and though the arguments are not powerful enough to convince us that we must look for pure and simple Christianity in the Catholic church alone , though they have not altered any opinions which we had previously formed , yet they prove decidedly that hife Lordship does not adhere to the faith of his ancestors without thought , without reflection , without considering the " reasons" for the hope that is in him .

      Art . II . —Diary of Thomas Burton , Esq ., Member in the Parliaments of Oliver and Richard Cromwell , from 1656 to 1659 : now first published from the Original Autograph Manuscri pt * With an Introduction , containing an Account of the Parliament of 1654 ; from the Journal of Guibon Goddard , Esq ., M . P ., also now first printed ' . Edited and IllusltaUd with Notes . Historical and Biographical , by John Towill ftutt . 4 Vols . 8 vo . London . 1828 .

      ( Continued from p . 394 . ) On the 29 th May , 1657 , a lengthened debate'is reported on the subject of the oath against Transubstantiation , &c > , in the bill against Recusants . There was much difference of opinion . " Lord Strickland moved against the oath , and said , indeed it was more than the Inquisition , which puts a man upon his own purgation , and if men

      will but abjure they will escape the Inquisition ; and Mr . Mole died under the Inquisition for not taking an oath . These are nice and controverted points , which may stagger a Protestant . "Again , there is no warrant for this by the laws . I know no way of conviction but by juries , or two witnesses ; they may have dispensations for it , and then your design is out of doors . I would have them convicted by having ministers to converse with them , and so discover their idolatry : the onusprobandi lies upon the accuser ; the party stands recttts m curia till then . "—Vol . II . p . 49 .

      " Captain Baynes . It is against the laws of Englishmen to impose this oath . I move rather to convict them upon the Bill for the Sabbath , which requires men to ctime to the public place of worship . I would have the Bill recommitted . Affain , We ought to look at the privilege of the English abroad , to do as we would be done by . " - —P . 149 . " Mr . Bond . I move that your question may be for an oath ; but not with those clauses of transubstantiation and purgatory , and flie like . It is a dangerous precedent . We do not know what times may come . Those things may be asserted for truths , and we , under some penalty , may be compelled to swear to thfem "—P . 150 .

      "Colonel Brhcoe . Divers worthy gentlemen have fully spoken against this oath . I shall give you my reasons < wfoy there is no necessity for this oath . ** In the county for which I serve , we have as great a number of them as any where . Most of them that have Any estates are under sequestration . Qtner ways may be found out besides thlfi . Though the face of public worship of late be discouraged , yet we have such places to try them . ' * 1 . It is against that great maxim of law , that no man is bound to betray himself ; the greatest trjdtors txxid felons , tnjit are actually and known enemies . The equity extending to them , surely i t ought to be extendable to stfch as are but suspected front their principles . Haply some may desire to live peaceably . . . ,
