Df Danger is adroittd to exist. The renewed cry of the II being io danger, now re echoed here, is not the nrcer cry of an alarmist ; nor is it repeated by one, who, !I reorieg wilt the rierltitude, joins in the clamour of the Lour, without any iniquity into the occasion of it. Ministers our establishment have themselves confessed this esta ldishment to he endangered. One witness, however, may suffice on this head ; and be is one, indeed, whose testi -mony most lie recorded as of the most unexceptionable kind. ° The C tits , dians of the Church of England," I.)h -serves Dr. Valpe, from whose judicious Sermons we have :just Booted..'' shoulti act with the greatest vigilance. They I! should be always at' their posts; for although the citadel is 11 built on a rock, against which the open or secret attacks I! ()fits enemies shall not prevail, yet the outposts are fee- 11 quently threatened to be driven in by irruptions from so many quarters, that it is their duty to acquire a knossledge of the causes which promote those inroad.." The outposts of the national church are not only threat- I! cried to be driven in, hut the outposts of its enemies , ad I anc;ng. from all quarters, may presently he found shaking I' hands wi:h each other ; unless those to whom its defence is en trusted ate made sensible of their situation, fund at their vocts, and penned to encounter their combined foes instead of resolutely combating for every inch of ground, I have not the legitimate defenders of the establishment been induced to abandon some of its outworks, and given reason to apprehend that they are about to retire into the citadel ? Oppugners of the Trinity have ceased to be punishable mechanics are now indiscriminately admissible to the Priest licy.:d—cathc.)lies are now excu:tnnt in prospect of their Ascendancy ! Such are the religious circumstances of this country ; and yet the. e are nutnburs who ridicule the cry of the Church of Etn;!ard being at all in danger, and cen surp:thos? who afe•;st to sound the awakening call. Inetedith•ns ch u rchmen may do prudently by reflecting on the fdlowing coniderations.—. There-is no danger to Protestantism, they say, thou g h a Priest of the Roman Catholic Church deems it proper to con rats. the Divinity Professor of a Protestant Univer- T tity, on his having publicly conceded the vital principle of his religion. Thee is no danger to the faith of the Church of Eng laed, as by law ei..tatlished ; though an Act has litter • Iy. been passed by Parliament, withont the It dibsent teinz ex; ressed by our Bishop% for the Relief of those. who hrpugn the Doctrine of the Trinity ;' and when Uni tarians declare, that they 48 view with great swisfaction the recent success of a measure, which, more than twenty years ego, they seicited in vain," and that they is hail it' as an • atrspicioos prelude to that happy day when 11 restrictions on - reli:yions grounds shall be for ever abolished." There is no danger to the Church of England ; though sectaL.in teachers spring up by hundreds, and meethre lmuses are multiplied, month upon mouth, under the super- JAN. 23. intendance t,f persons who can produce no " honest reasons for dissent," excepting that they are at length sanctioned 'try There is no danger to the Chnr.h of England ; though land-propiietors are always on the alert to divest her of liefr just dues, her " first fruits;" and, " If aught fr•ai !hence they tvint, triamphinz mote than all belov l .l I iyeheat% 1k fae r Mete is no &tiler to the Church of ; 010114,44 amid.t a people lobere every thlin.: depends on opinion, she IS in, e-tddittiv ttaduced in the popular estiniation, and by degrees deprived of the ciffec dons of her (ltvn ntrspring.
