SIR, 
HE fubje& propo%ed for deliberation 
in the prefent letter appears to the 
writer to be of confiderable importance 
both to the Chriftian and Jewith world; 
it goes to this, * Whether the doétrine of 
Immaterialifm, which has fo long been 
attributed to Mofes, and the propheric 
writers, be, or be not warranted by the 
Scriptures.” 
If truth refted for fapport on the bafis

The principal reafon affigned for the 
prevalent belicf in Mafaic Immaterialiim 
is derived from the firlt verfe of Genehs; 
‘© In the beginning God crzated the 
heaven and the earth.” Wohereby is 
meant, according to the general accepta- 
tion, created out of nothing; but I fub- 
mit that the proper interpretation would 
have been, arranged, difpofed, reduced
