‘* Religious Union; being a Sketch of

The author of this pamphlet, feeing with 
an eye of forrow that more inveterate ani- 
mofity exifls among thofe who call them- 
felves Chriftians than ever prevailed 
among the ancient Heathens, and feeling, 
as every man muft feel, a folicitude to 
remove the caufe of fo ferious and dif- 
graceful an evil, propofes the inftitution 
of aconference, fimilar to that which was 
held at the Savoy in 1661, confifting of 
delegates from the Eftablifhed, the Ca- 
tholic, and the Prefbyterian Churches, 
who may difcufs and fettle differences. 
The author fiankly acknowledges the 
utter improhability that his fcheme wiil 
ever be adopted. 
We have been much pleafed with the 
perulal of <* An Effay, tending to prove 
that Chridianity has promcted the Happi- 
nefs of Man, as an Intelleétual, Moral, 
and Social Being.’ Although the im- 
mediate end of Chriftianity is to prepare 
mankind for the enjoyment of a future 
ftate, it is juftly obferved, that in the 
profecution of this end, its doétrines ne- 
ceffarily produce a collateral effect cn the 
human fpecies, as intellectual, moral, and 
focial creatures. And fince human hap- 
pinefs confifts in the proper exercife and 
derable eloquence as well. as ftrength of 
argument, in what manner, and how far, 
it has operated on their nature and extent.

fatory addrefs to the reader, that having 
in his tranflation and explanatory notes 
made it a rule to confine himfelf to the li. 
m.ted province of a mere interpreter, en- 
deavouring to give a faithful verfion of 
his corrected originals, without comment 
or criticifm, he has, in his prefent re- 
marks, taken a wider and a bolder range, 
performing, throughout, the charaéter of 
a critic, and occafionally that of a com- 
mentator. He is thoroughly fenfible that 
the freedom with which his critical ex- 
amination of the Hebrew Scriptures is 
conduéted, will, by the many, be confi-. 
dered as an audacious licence, and-that 
“¢ the ery of bere/y! infidelity! and irreli- 
gion! will refound from fhore to fhore :** 
he contents himfelf, however, with fimply 
entering his proteft again& downright 
mifreprefentation and calamny. ‘¢ I dif- 
claim ({ays he) and fpurn the imputation 
of irreligion and infidelity: I bélicve as 
much as I find fufficient metives of cre- 
dulity for believing, and without fufh- 
cient motives of credulity there can be no 
rational belief.” This is manly; and 
manly inveftigation, in contempt of confe- 
quences, is one of the characters of the 
work which, however repugnant be our 
private opinions to thofe of the reverend 
writer, commands our, warme{t admira- 
tion and efteem. :
