THE NATK)NAL REGISTER. NOV.: 4: • - .1.11 ~Itli-V. 'rIik;OPI4ILUS Lill DIET On the 3.1 of November died, at his house in Eisex.street, be twern.the hours of six and seven in the nit, ia the elghty \th rear of his age, the Rev. Theophilus Lindsey, formerly Vicar of Catterick in Yorkshire. This living he resigned in' the ear ITN, from a convietion that the service of the church 14 England, as far as it involves the doctrines of the Trinity, is .irrpu;,nunt to the precepts of our Saviour and his Apostles, and ' particularly to Coe great common! of God solemnly promul rded to the Jews, and urged with the strongest emphasis by our ''‘aviour--Thous , •alt have no Other gods but me. In couse quebre of this conviction, and the ineffectual attempts to oh. lain redress for the Clergy. in the subscription to the thirty-nine Articles, having resigned his living, and quitted Yorkshire, he came to London; and in the year seventy-fov, encouraged by the application of several prisons of high respectability, who mere earnest in the same cause, he opened a room •in Essex- I;ofw , for the wore - hip of the only true God, in w hieh he per tained divine service, according to the Liturgy of the Church of England, reurincil by the celebrated Dr Clarke, with some variat ems adaptcit to lA ii tr n more improved views of the sub- Jeo. Four yea I'S after rhe preached a sermon on the open in4 of the chapel in Essex House, which has since that time been dedicated to Unitarian worship. •Ilere his services us Minister were most acceptable to a numerous congregation; and whate‘er disapprobation his opioions might excite among the unioformed of different denominations, even they could not tP:t coeval a characier of such benevolence, honesty; and integrity. 'lnc atiacament of those Who were more intimately acquainted o tilt hi. virturs was unbounded, for seldom is to he found a man oho h.'s lived so deeply in his heart th... ;turd chrracteristics of the Coristi.m telizion—love to God and love to town. He la- - merited the divisions amongst Christinns, owingto the unreason-. aide adherence of many to tradition, merely of human or politi 7 cal authority . , in opposition to the language of revelation. The w towe of hi, p caching was benevolence, and the easy yoke of Chri•t, ardour in the study of the Scriptures, humility in the of God, and the rejection of that false 15iety which - lays undue Glrt'S on external circumstimees. • In these useful labour , he mis (Imaged to the 70th year of his age, when lie resigned his pastoral °dice, dedicating the remainder of his life to the great ohjcct, of promAing scriptural truth, iq which service he con tinue)] occasionally to employ his pen: No man was a inure sin frietid to civil and reliAious liberty; no one more attached to those pcinciples which placed the Brunswick Family upon the Throtu. To these, pridciples he never failed, when a proper i.iy•irtunity ol:ered, °I bearing his testimony with consistent tiponess and cletracieri-tic mildness : for mildness, benevolence, still humility , Collided on , piety and entire resignation to the will of God . , and combined with habitual cheerfulness, were the sii . il‘ing features in hi t character. During the latter part of his file infirmities of age gradually pressed upon him, but lie ! ore them all without a murmur, and his favourite maxim, en which he dwelt emphatically almost in his last moments, and when utterance became difficult, was—What God wills is best.
