Among our living Divines there are two, who, 

 though strangers to us by birth, have so long 

 exercised among us the duties of their sacred 

 function, that we may fairly claim them as our 

 townsmen ; I allude to the Rev. THOMAS DIKES, 

 LL. B., and the Rev. JOHN SCOTT, M. A. 

 The former, a native of Ipswich, is deservedly 

 popular as a preacher. He first published, in 

 1798, a Sermon, delivered in this town, in his own 

 ehurch of St. John, on the 20th of November in 

 that year, being the day appointed for a general 

 Thanksgiving, entitled " The Effects of Irreli- 

 " gion ;" and he afterwards published another 

 Sermon, also preached in his own church, on the 

 22nd of January, 1804, "On the abounding 

 of open Profligacy and Immorality/' His 

 Strictures on Mr. Hill's pamphlet, on the proceed- 

 ings concerning the Roman Catholics, were pub- 

 lished in 1807 ; and in 181 1, he printed a Sermon, 

 which he had preached, entitled "The fatal 

 " tendency of Lewdness to corrupt the Morals,
