I would not wish to insinuate into your minds any thing against the sacred writings.—Whatever my opinion may be. yes are at liberty to judge for your. selves.

Vain Weald it be for me to vindicate or condemn any particular sect •f men forming theossrlres under the idea of Ma gic.. bodies; but such who reeks a continual prac tice of insineating into the People's minds that the laws are not only jest, het by God's appointment, and their superiors by his all-wise appointment set ever them, is es muds as to say, they must bear the lead without grumbling. " I recommend, by frequently assembling your.
