TO THE 82D17191t On'AeV'AR. 1 ON THE PROPHeCIES.—NO. ICION. TRIAD TRUMPET.+-PART 11. § IV. Of the Origia of the Clerical Body. I For a long time the pastors had, on every occur rence, been labouring to improve the respect in which they were held tiy their flocks, and gradually widen ing the distance between themselves and the other member of their assemblies. In the early ages of Christianity, as we have seen in every thing that reearad the discipline and general affairs of the Church, the whole congregation had a voice ; bet, in process of time, this was gradually taken out of their hands, and engrossed by the Clergy—a body absolutely unknown in the primitive times.— In proportion as the people lost their independence, the Clergy heightened theirclaims, and became, if pos sible, more assiduous in their dexterous management of " dark sentences;" at first insinuating, and after wards maintaining, that in virtue of their office they were sacred and sanctgedpersons, in a sense different from that in which these terms could be applied to the other members of CHRIST'S mystical body; that tho.e who did not belong to any of the sacred orders were by no means qualified to deliberate and judge in holy things ; and that it was the height of sacrilegious ucurpation for unhallowed men (comprehending under that description the Saints and faithful in Cnol.;r Jesus,) to arrogate any power in concerns of this nature. As the many t which primitively formed but oar body ( 1 Cor. x. 1'7.), became thus divided into TWO distinct be llies, the Clergy and the Laity—terms derived from two Greek words raepos• and accoc, the former signifying lot or inheritance, the latter people—it may not be improper that we should here examine a little what authority the scriptures furnish to sepport this distinction. Throughout the whole of the New Testament the term Y.kr,por, as applied to persons, occurs but once, viz. in 1 Peter v. 3. pea ws xtrecocupie:orrec rum rate -7111101 yoiol.ccvoi roe ireipsort, Literally ren dered, the passage stands thus : "not as domineering [or lording it] over the HERITAGE., but being examples •to the nocx." In true canonical English we should read " not domineering over the cireor ;" but unhappi ly the Clergy [x?ipwv] in this passage are the very individuals that are, not only in this verse, but also in the preceding, denominated the Pei DeGgsmou]— In other words, the clergy here - 4. of are Laymen! —But, perhaps, expressions may be found in the Old Testament which may be considered as _furnishing something like a scripture warrant for applying this term xavis exclusively to those whose office it was to minister in holy things,?—Quite the contrary. Gon is indeed, in these writings, said to be the inhe ritance of the Levites, because a certain portion of the sacrifices offered to Gon was, in part, to serve them instead of an estate in land, sech as was given to the other tribes ; but no where is the tribe of Levi called GOD'S inheritance, though that term is fre quently applied to the whole potion; as in Deut. ix. 29. —" They are thy people and thine inheritance, which " thou bmughtest out by thy mighty power." In the septuagint thispassage is thus ranslated: ',perm AAO2 •a xat K ABPOI co us str l yarr EX yris Aryerre SY 17XVI re rr, p.eyaioj. Here the X&Of and the rawer are the same persons—the laity are the clergy, and the clergy are the laity ! t Singular as it may appear that the wolves of whom PauL prophesied (Acts xx. 29.) should have made such an unhappy selection of names to distinguish between themselves and those of whom they made a prey, it is by no means difficult to be accounted for. The Bishops were so extremely anxious for the welfare of their respective flocks, and so much wiser than the Apostles, that in a short time after the death of the latter, they relieved the Deacons from the trouble of managing the Church's funds, and took all this labour upon themselves. Unexampled kindness ! The church's bounty might have been misapplied, if left in the hands of men who were comparatively ignorant and ill-informed, but in the hands of men of such ex emplary sanctity and holiness, as the Pastors, no such danger was to be apprehended. The Bishops still continued to enfofce the duty of liberality, but now the motive was altered. The Rinds had gradually be come their own property, but still they employed the same language in their exhortations as they had always • done, beseeching those whom they addressed, to be bountiful to Goo's xi.-e,pc,;. Every philologist knows that words change their primitive signification insen sibly, when associated with ideas with which they had originally no connexion, till at length they acquire au entirely new meaniag. This is exactly what took place in this instance. The pastors were continually enforcing the duty of liberality to GOD'S clergy, that is GOD'S inheritance ; and it followed as a matter of coarse, ilea those to whose use the donations were applied were meant by the term employed. The two ideas were so naturally connected with each other, that they could not be separated—those for whose benefit the money was collected were the clergy—those who applied it to their own use received the benefit —and as the people [Altos the laity] in process of time were entirely excluded from participating in the fruits of their own bounty, they ceased of course to be a part of the clergy. In a manner somewhat similar the word EXXV i OIa [church] was at length also peculiarly applied to those who had made it a property ; and hence, in violation of all propriety of speech, they were exclu sively denominated ecclesiastics and churchmen ; names which only mean, persons belonging to the &Alia or church, and which consequently inclinae every mem ber of the chnrch or congregation. With as much propriety might the pastors have appropriated to themselves the appellation xpirtavoi, or termed a new name fr om ,puts, and called themselves exclusively wicirm, denying to the other members of the ecdesia the privilege of being called by the name of CURIST : but this would have been a most unprofitable appro. priation, for had they allowed none to be chris tians but their own body, whence could they have derived their emoluments ? This would have been at once to dry «p every settee of revenue—but the greater the numbers of christians, the greater the contribution that could be levied from them, and hence the zeal of those who fleeced the flock, to add • rani fn, in the plural in classical Language, signifies wealth, or ssss Geoilcs translates the passage •s orannidens r. crisis in cats e Christian...us ; a sense which has generally been followed. t See Deut. tr. 20 ; also Caulpb cll't Dissertations. to it as many as possible, no matter what their chal ratter and conversatic n,under that name, till at length the whole body became infected and foul, bearing only gall and wormwood. But this evil did not come to its height till tht /to mar. power, which hindered the revelation of the Man of Sid in the days of the Apostles, was taken out of the way (2 Thess. ii. 7.). Those who were determi ned to yield obedience to the laws of CHRIST had still power to separate themselves from these corruptcom munions, and to organize themselves after the mo del of the primitive congregations ; but as many as had recourse to this expedient infallibly found that " all that godly in Cssalsr Jaws shall seer per secution" .(2 Tina. iii. 12). They were stigmatized as schismatics and heretics by the corrupt teachers, who by every secession of this kind lost a portion of their gains ; said their bitterest enemies were those, who, calling themselves Christians, ought to have pled inbeholding their order and the stedfartness of their faith in Christ (Col. ii. 5). The orthodox, another term appropriated to themselves and their adherents by these corrupters of the truth, and which, with churchmen, always means those who believe, or profess to believe, what they command them, never failed to circulate calumnious writings against all who dared to dissent from their unscriptural doctrines and practices. These attacks sometimes produced replies—and as often as they did, the strongest, not in argument, but in power and influence, were sure to gain the victory. In the first ages these controversies were chiefly carried on in Greek, a language admit ting of an almost infinite number of derivatives and compounds, expressing shades of difference in signi fication, of which no other language is susceptible. The smallest slip or inaccuracy in the choice of an expression was an error in the faith, and in process of tin, • a heresy .( when that word acquired its ecclesiasti cal signification) ; and any attempt to explain only exposed the individual to the danger of erring still more damnably. If the Assenter, however, had, en any occasion, the better of the argument, (which, rag s happily for the peace of the church, was the case as often as fie had the Scriptures on his side, and was careful not to entangle himself in the logical subtilties thrown out for him by his adversaries) - his defeat was not,that less certain on that account. Corruption had now become so general, that those who fattened by it, with unblushing effrontery supported each other in over: whelming every person who dared to attack one of their sacred order. In the primitive ages, it was not unusual for any particular congregation to ask for the brotherly ad vice and assistance of the neighbouring congrega tions, when any case of difficulty arose among them. The request went from the whole body, and the an swer, as was the case when the church at Jerusalem wrote to the church atAntioch respecting circumcision (Acts xv.), was returned by the whole of the bre thren whose advice had been solicited. By degrees the brethren were excluded from any share in this correspondence, and the bishops took upon themselves to dictate for their respective congregations. The in terference of neighbouring congregations in each other's affairs was not, however, confined to asking or giving advice by letter : the presbyters, accom panied by delegates from among the other members, used sometimes to meet at any convenient place. These meetings [Synods] at length became regular : the Bishops never failed to attend them ; but it was not so with the other' members, and when any of them did attend, they were not always the same per.' sons who had been at former meetings. The busi ness of course was at last wholly managed by the clergy, and in process of time the laity were entirely excluded. The clergy having thus established synods, composed of their own order, had no longer any thing to fear from their respective congregations, and, when any question came before them, their only ob ject was how they might best suit the decision to the interest of their own body. When matters had once been brought to this state, is it a subject of wonder that the dissenting layman should invariably be found in the wrong in every case, excepting only when the opinions he maintained were of such a nature that they could, by a little dexterou s management, be made subservient to the usurpations of ecclesiastics .711BLICVS. • . LATE muiv.Dxiazir. The Earl of DARTMOUTH left Windsor on Sunday morning for London, but was obliged to return, owing to the flooded state of the roads. Several pasts of the wall round Windsor Little Park have been carried away by the floods. It is a remarkable circumstance, that while the Ra vensburne rose to such a height as to carry away part ,of the bridges at Lewisham and Deptford, the Wandle River, which has its source within a hundred yards of the Ravensburne, did not in the late inundation over flow its banks, nor do the least damage. The Addis: combe Brook, which has its source at the late Earl of Liverpool's, and which runs into the Wandle below Merton, rose ten feet perpendicular height and laid Tooting underwater. From that junction it swelled the Wandle. OWing to the sudden thaw on Wednesday morning, the whole of the lower part of Bristol was completely inundated.—The water extended through Rosemary lane, Merchant-street, and in many places exceeded four feet in depth. The fresh in the river was so sud den and furious, that it drove two trows against the butresses of the tempotaiy wooden bridge, between Clare street and St. Augustin's back, and forced 'it down with a tremendous crash. Fortunately it was per ceived to be in danger, which gave an opportunity to the passengers and spectators to escape. One of the, trows is sunk in the river, and the rigging and cargo of the other much damaged. The mails from London due at Plymouth on Fri day, owing *to the breaking down of several bridges,. and the flooding of the roads to the eastward, did not arrive until the following day. The damage done in that country is estimated at £30,000. One bridge, near Honiton, is entirely washed away, which cost se veral thousand pounds in erecting some months since. On Saturday night, as the Exeter snail was on its way from London, near Staines, the coachman en ileavoured to avoid a part of the road where he knew the waters were out ; in doing which, he got inttints., other part that had flooded since he was these, +Wai l proved worse than the other, and the water was eel deep that the coach floated and the hones swam.— The toach was suddenly overturned, and the coach man and guard thravn td a considerable distance. pitsengers were got out after considerable difn - 1 culty ; the horses were disengaged from the coach ;1 e bags of letters sustained but little injury, and were conveyed in a post-chaise, accompanied by alio ' er post-chaise with the passengers. The coach ould not be got out. The whole country round is in the most distressing state ; it is covered with water from Chertsey to Maidenhead. In general the water runs in torrents as high as the parlour windows.— Numbers of poor inhabitants have nearly lost all their property, which has been carried away in the streams; and, in addition to-thOir distress, occasioned by this cause, the country is in such a state that no work can be done ; many cannot get out of their houses to pur chase food, and what they do procure is put in at their one pair of stairs window. The lower part of Egham is under water, and impassable. A letter from Salisbury says, 44 The inundation in this city and neighbourhood, in consequence of the rapid thaw, has been deeper than at any period since the year 1774 ; but no accident Of a very calamitous nature has come to our knowledge. Far mer White, of West Harnham, has sustained a loss by the water running into his barn, and carrying off and damaging a large quantity of wheat ; and many of the houses in the vliage had the water a conside rable depth on the ground floor. The street of Fi' sherton Anger was Inundated, between the two bridges to the depth of 18 inches ; the inhabitants re moved up stairs, and carts were employed in the con veyance of those who quitted their houses. Two houses on-the south side of the Close of Sarum, had the water a foot.deep on the ground floor, and the cellars in the Close were generally filled with water. In,Wilton, Downton, Fordingbridge, &c. the inhabi tants of several houses were obliged to take up their abode above stairs, from the water bursting into the ground-floors. Kingston-on-Thames was on Sunday so completely inundated as to render it impassable by carriages of any description, and the inhabitants were punted to and from their residences. All the houses and offices next the Thames were approachable only by boats, and at Hampton Wick, Thames -Ditto% Walton, and Sunbury, many cottages and buildings on the banks of the Thames were washed from their foun dations. Much damage has already been caused to the residents in that neighbourhood, whose ground and basement floors are rendered useless by their being under water • and those inhabitants who had occasion to mmove ' from their houses were under the rabsohne necessity of descending by ladders from their upper stories into boats or punts. The flood conti nued ,to rise all next day, and excited very general alarm in the town. The approach to the Griffin was only by beats. The inhabitants of Edmonton and Tottenham have suffered severely by the late floods. The chief da mage, however, is in the former place. Mr. Deason's house stands considerably elevated over an arch of the river Mosell. About eleven o'clock on Wednes day morning the river filled the arch, and rose ra pidly, till it forced down two large garden walls— The fall alarmed the neighbourhood, and the house itself being now exposed to the whole force of the stream, the family, who had retired up stairs from the water, were obliged to seek a place of safety-through a deep and rapid current. The north road was soon filled'with water for upwards of a mile. The flood began to subside about ten o'clock at night, and the next morning was much abated ; but during the day it rose almost to its former height in Tottenham, and something higher in Edmonton. We understand that this unusual visitation proceeded in a great de gree from the overflow of the New River. READING, JAN. 28.—The sudden thaw has produ ced effects in this town and the roads in the neigh bourhood, which have been scarcely paralleled at any former period. The water produced by the melting of a vast body of snow has rendered some of the roads quite impassable, and the torrents which have thus been caused have done very considerable damage.— At Twyford three bridges are so much damaged as to be rendered totally impassable, and the mail and other coaches are under the necessity of taking the circuitous route of Henley, a distance of five miles, on their journey to and from the metropolis. The. workshops of Mr. Phelp, coachmaker, adjoining the High Bridge, in this town, were undermined by the current, and nearly the whole destroyed ; the damage is estimated at near 3001. Mr. Dyson, who lives near the Seven Bridges, had a pig-stye and two very fine pigs washed away on Wednesday night ' • and Mr. Byles of Aldermaston lost three pigs by the flood the same evening. At Mapledurham the Weir is destroyed, and damage done to a considerable amount. The water is upwards of four feet deep in the village of Pangbourn, and many other places are so much inundated, that many of the inhabitants are under the necessity of getting in and out of their one pair of stairs windows, but we are happy to state that we have not heard of any lives being lost. At Shil lingford Bridge a gentleman lost his horse, valued at 30 guineas, in attempting to pass over. ' ECCLESIASTICAL PROMO 110 N.
