through the devious paths of life; the 
myftical prototype of the Ifraelitith ‘¢ fire 
by night, and pillar of {raoke by day.” 
The religion of the Quakers is a reli- 
gion of feeling, it operates on the heart (if 
I may ufe a popular expreflion) more than 
on the head:—it is a practical religion, 
and, provided its benign and comforting 
influence be fufhiciently felt, they do not 
hold it effential to be very curious and 
inquifitive about theoretical dogmas.— 
They have no particular written articles 
of taith for every member to-learn by 
heart, and concluding by damning-all fuch 
as do not believe them; and if M. N. have 
difcovered any backwardnefs or fhyne(s of 
explanation in the Quakers, it may be 
attributed to the habits they cultivate of 
attending principally to the practical du- 
ties Of piety and virtue, and feduloufly 
avoiding the labyrinth of controverted 
tenets, as ancient mariners ufed to avoid 
the rocks of Scylla and Charybdis—they 
do not hold it neceflary to enquire whether 
Jefus Chrift pofleffed his corporeal nature 
in any degree, previous to his appearance 
on earth, or whether he carried it with 
him in his afcenfion—whether the trinity 
be compofed of perfons, or of natures, or 
eflences:—it fufhices them to know and 
, to feel ¢* Chrif? within, the hope of glory.” 
I know it is very difficult to be clear 
and explicit on abftrufe fubjects—I have 
endeavoured to throw a tranfient light on 
the fubject of M.N.’s {peculations; if I 
have fucceeded in any degree, I fhall be 
fatisfied, and fhall be pleafed at all times 
to meet Jer future enquiries with all the 
folution I can afford. I feem to fancy 
that I recognife the hand of a valued ac - 
quaintance and friend, in er lucubra- 
tions; and if the letters of the alphabet 
were before me, I fuipeét I could: place 
my fingers on certain two of them, that 
form the real initials of her name.

SIR, | 
To the Editor of the Monthly Magazine. 
Hackney, Aug. 28, 1798.- 
HE fociety of Quakers, (a denomi- 
nation, which I 
fhould be the laft- 
man living to employ, if it were zow con- 
fidered as a term of infult, reproach, or 
ridicule) fo numerous and fo peculiar, 
muft have attracted the notice, and ex- 
ercifed the refleStions, of every inguifitive 
obférver; and confequently muft have 
been regarded, either as a barren {pot 
amidft a field of luxuriant vegetation; or, 
in the language of our great moral poet, 
as, on the contrary, 
¢ Some happier ifland in the watery wafte.”” 
Permit me, through the medium of your. 
mifcellany, to offer a few short and com- 
prehenfive remarks en the peculiarities of
