7*15, igh.k ..46riv.ii*Oktfit's = r . ON TIqyROPHECIES.-NO. XXII. • THIRD TRUHPET.--PAST It. • § 111. Of Schism it id Rimy. ' As sehirm and here& avert justly held to be erhtteo cif the deepest dye among the first Christians, wheieree dared to the Bishops, in any of their &via: tions fro m the primitive order, were sure to be char ged with theist: The flocks, fearful of failing in the duty they owed to those wlio were set over tis, were gradually led to receive the opinion which the Bishops favoured, as the mind and will of GOD. This would often be the case with the great majority, . especially where the Bishop was a man of imposing piety (Mark xiii. 22.) If the Bishop's opponents continued to maintain,their opinion, there was then a. Aires in the body;--if they. separated, to observe the ordinances as enjoined by their only Master, they were heretics. The meaning of these words was ex tended to embrace ideas with which they had no cOn mxion originally, and at length was entirely changed —as has been the case with all those terms which, in the technical language of Churchmen, are now called erelesiattical. • &him [Txtertix] as appligd to the church, in the New testament, had a very different signification in the days of the Apostles, from that which has slice been imposed upon it. Schism might then ex i st "IN a congtton, and could exist in-no other manner : —in iii en dines it does not exist ia, but OUT OF THE CHURCH. He Who quit the communion of any chuich, ho*ever corrupt and polluted that church may be, commits the sin of schism—a doCtrine as rational, accordlnito Paul's method of reasoning, as It would le te 'ullintaift that a man is lime because , his neighbbnr harlOrt a leg. The word, as applied, to men, signifies &moray, division, diprente of opinion. Thus, when the Jews could not agree whether JEsus was THE NIESSfAii or not, we ;re informed by the Evangelist Jatim (vii. 43. z. 19.), that there was a dit'iriva [o,cirgsa, a schism] among them. So also when the Pharisees were not agreed respecting him, after he had cured the blind man on the Sabbath, the same Evangelist (ix. 16.) says (4/here war a :mud among them." This word is applied to the chilich only in Paul's first Epistle to the Corinthians. 46 I &such you," says he, " brethren, by the name ef our LORD Jews CHRIST I that ye all speak the "lame thing, 11 and that there be no DI rtstnecs [rx.erilaree] among you" (1. 10.). Now here it is plain that schism consists in she members of the tame congregation speaking different thinv initead of the came thing, holding jarring opinions *stead of being 66 perfectly joined together in the tame mind and in the s same judgment ; ' and the Apostle, by what he immediately adds, shews that he affixed no ollier meaning to the word schism. " For," says he, 46 it hash been reported to me that TIME ARE CON VINTIQNS ',YONG rots." He does not say that any Were separating from them--on the contrary he charges the church itself, to whom he writes, with being schismatical ; a thing impossible, in the modern acceptatinn of the term. The Apostle not only charges them with schism, but specifies the very act in which this was manifested—they were glorying in Dun, one saying " lam of Paul ; another " lof Apol lo; ;" whsreas lie says believers should "glory in the Lost)." ,In ths 11th chapter also, where he speaks of schism (v. 17, 18.) he does not make it consist in feitaratiOlf t but in " cowing together, not for the better, but for the worse."—" When ye some together," says he, a in the coagrqation, I hear that there be Dtrtszotss [axicsµara] among you, and I partly believe it."—He had, in the preceding part of the chapter, enumerated some of the points respecting which there were con. tentions among them —some, as it would appear, .Maintaining that a man might pray or teach with his head covered, and women appear unveiled in the pub 1k assemblies—a custom which neither he nor the congre- ' galions of GOD permitted (v. 16) ; and in the succeed mg part of the chapter, he points out the disorderly way in which they eat the Loan's supper, as tending also to prOduce divisions. In the following chapter, he illustrates the doctrine of concord and harmony which he inculcates respecting 66 the body of Christ," by the agreeing harmony of all the parts of the human body, every member being given to perform its own function without dissention (as if the eye should de sire to perform the office of the ear) such a :Aim being impossible in the natural body, in which all the members mutually care for each other (xii. 25.)...... These are all the passages, except two, in - which the word schism occurs in the New Testamentt, and in none of them is it spoken of as a crime out of the church, nor does it appear possible to conceive how it can be so ; since it consists in members of the same congregation having dissensions, or being at variance with each other, in their opinions. But when a man ( a schismatic if you wail takes himself away, or is put away from the body, there is then an end of the sc hi s m, it the members that remain all speah the same thing, being perfectly of one mind—if otherwise—they are still schismatics, though they continue to have fill°7 4 101 ) tf'gFit• it 4 °broils wain flat bas just been stated, that ackios, its the scripture iente of the word, might pro duce 14estm.iie ; N 1.4: }tided the latter could not take place 41 agy enimrefratinii without being preceded by the former. - But as the meaning of the word heresy raierisi has miderrait as great a change as that of tl4O - *Ord schis ms, rand te change was effected under the same inAuenei W 4 fur the same object, it may be il i rtE' i t i o n st ot l i t 1 - 3 er c e i, ,.. f o r iti.it i l il te , infprmation it of m such s lity; 44/ or pg . roe, that it never has 344 . other sig oation thro n g out the New Testament ; and that t 't hoc such meu as the learned And ingenuous Bishop New.. come should ire — c4inaeosl the retelling-of snots terms in a refor med versiun of the - aeriteures . taunt he *daunted tor, but froth the force of inisagrate lib*.; Med furnishes what), one of the jgrativat aromiegst4 that gesilpg v fee rejecting them entirely.

In this way it was employed by the Orator TERTULLUS, when pleading against PAUL before FItLIX, (Acts xriv. 5.) " %% re have found (his man a ringleader of . the sect [al i :tat:of] of the Nasarenes." The crime charged was not that he was a sectarian, but that he belonged to what was deemed a dangerous sect—the Nazarenes ; and therefore, PAUL admits in his an swer (v. 14.) that he was a sectarian, $ but denies that he maintained tenets contrary to the toleration granted by the Romans to the Jews, since he wor shipped the Goo of his fathers, believing all things written in the law and the Prophets. An argument which would be as convincing with FEux as that of PAUL'S accusers ; for he could not fail to consider them both as equally superstitious, and, as a Roman Magistrate, he was bound to ,give equal protection to all sects among the Jews, whether old or new, if not daugei ous to the State. ii These is one passage in Prrint's second Epistle (IL, L) in which, according to the common English . talon, the word appears to be employed to express gross errors—" There shall be false teachers among you who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the LORD that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift ekstruction," but in the original the censure is not im plied in the word alfEtrEicT, but is applied to those men who should be so wicked as to make divisions in opposition to that love and unity enjoined to all the followers of Jesus, teaching doctrines subver sive of that faith which he and his Apostles taught. A maker of parties is a heretic in the 'scripture sense of the word. Christians are admonished to be on their guard against all such, and not to,sufferthern to remain in their fellowship. " d mat, shat is an &- retie [ai,o . /row col fccroy] after theirst lagui wad adina nition Tett, knowing that he that is such, it saiticitCdaiegi sinneth, being condemned of himself."—(Tit. lii. 1,13, U). Schism and heresy, standing opposed to that hive and unity j 8 strenuously enjoined to the ,belieteers, 'and being marked as crimes of great enormity, it is no wonder that those who paid proper deference to the authority of the Apostles should have been ex tremely fearful of falling into them. Those bishops who sought to make a property qt their parish, did not fail to turn this to their pwa advantage.-- « What ! separate from the communion of your bishop's chnrch, under pretence of cqnvenience—lt is schism even to propose it—To db it is kap." Such was the kind of arguments employed to lament die formation of new congregations within the 06 4 841 bounds of parishes already established. The presid ing Presbyters haying made themselves =a iivAafir, to the exclusion of the rest, it now became fashionable to tal)c in the following manner : " GOD is °ay Ostitiss is one, t 1 chiwch is one, the seat [xx9el p a now appro priated to the bishop] is one, the rock on which the church u founded is one. To set up a new altar,l and make a new bishop, besides the oNg ALTAR and the ONE BISHOP, is impossible ; •WhOsa ever gathers together elsewhere [than with the one bishop] scatters ; it is adulterous, it is impious, and contrary to the divine disposition.(a) " Obey your bishop as JEWS CHeor did the F.tviste, and the Presby tery as the Apo; tles."(b) "iffy soul be security for theirs that obey their bishops, presbyters, and deacons." (c) " The more silent any one finds his bishop, let him reve rence him the more ! I for whomsoever the master of the house receives into his own household, we ought to receive as him that sent him. It is therefore evi dent, that we ought to look :lion the bishop even as we would do upon the Lord hinuelf."(d) If any opposer of the unchristian encroachments of the Bishops, counting it his duty to obey GOD rather than men,dared to turn a deaf ear to this perversion of words, and presumed to call ihe attention of his bre thren to the Scriptures of truth, as the only rule to guide their conduct, he then became a sower of dis cord among brethren—a perverter of the order of the house of Gon--an enemy of the peace of account of the Jewish rich, conforming to the heathen notions of the term, considers them as parties attached to diferent systems of thi/./.phy. Epiphanius, a Christian writer of the • 4th cen tury, reckons among the Jan [slp:rsi] which arose in Greece before the coming of CHRIST, the Stoics, the Platonist., the Epicureans and the Pythagoreans. lie even numbers Judaism, which he yet acknowledges to have been derived from Goa—among the origi nal heresies, which he could not have done had be used the word in its modern acceptation. t " After the way which they call Atm . ', My Myr,iv awn , ss war. AO I tke God of soy fath er. . " The propriety of the Apostles plead ing cannot be seen in the English version, in which the same word is rendered differently in the accusation and in the answer of the prisoner, II The Jewish Religion had not only received the sanction of the civil powers for the continuance of its establishment in Judea, but a toleration in other parts of the Empire. The Apostle, therefore, employed the best possible argument to silence his ac cusers, for Felix knew that the Jews consisted of various stets or parties, and that their different sects no way destroyed the privi leges secured to them by the Roman Laws. They had the Pha risees, the &adman, the Saasaritans, the Essenee—and Paul waia tains that the Nasarenrs, the new sect, were entitled to the same protection as the others, since they held the doctrines taught by Moses and the Prophets, and, which was of more importance in the eye of a Roman Magistrate, walked without offince toward Goa end toward won.

Lames—Having waited in vain to see someper son of higher rank than myself set forward a sub- Scription amongst the females of thellnited Kingdom, for the assistance of the brave Spaniards, in order to .chew to the whole world that we are not deficient in those generous feelings that so nobly clutractoise our countrymen, I at last venture to appeal to you on this most interesting subject. There can be no im propriety surely in our giving this public testimony of our sentiments, and contributing the only support in our power to a cause in which the best and noldest passions of the heart are so deeply engaged. Let me remind you, that it is the battle of England which is now fighting in Spain ; and that if the Ty rant of the Earth is successfully resisted in that coun try, it will be the means probably of adverting for ever, from this happy island, the danger of inva sion, and the chance of its becoming the seat of war; a calamity replete with evils too terrible even for the imagination to encounter. This, surely, is an argu ment which cannot be lost on my fair countrywomen, since, in its consequences, it involves our homes, our children, and ourselves—all that is venerable in age, or lovely in infancy—every thing, in short,, that to a woman can make life dear, honourable, and happy. Can we then remain insensible to the glorious struggle that is now making in Spain ? Can we for get that the very scenes which we dare not contem plate are now actually passing in that devoted coun try, and may, too soon, be realized in our own ? Im possible ! All that is required of you is some slight sacrifice, some trifling instances of self denial, which temporary economy may replace, and which will leave behind it in recollection, a more pure and per manent pleasure than any gratification vanity can confer. There are sore amongst you possessed of large in dependent fortunes ; and, for such there is no ex cuse ; but the generality of those to whom I address myself, are probably in the same situation with my self—mothers, and mistresses of families, receiving, for their private expences, an allowance from their husbands suitable to their respective conditions in life. Let me intreat these to consider that if the merit is g reater on their part, so also is the reward, and that if they have the least to spare, they have also the most to lose. Let us all, then, chearfully contribute without de lay, the assistance we can afford, and let no one be deterred by the insignificance of the sum, provided it be such alone as her circumstances fairly enable her to offer. Let us give this public proof to the Spanish Ladies of the deep interest we feel in their cause, of our ad miration for their sourage, and of our sympathy in their distress : and let sit, in seeing my hopes ful filled, have still another reason for the pride and glory I have ever felt in being AN ENGLISHWOMAN. i the Chureh—a contemner SF iscilmosp - Nrho had Pseenehemht r itrathl Goo „he Jet over the clultch-.4 0:040 pr . hinOteOtti rOelo.
