" Mr. G. Moran seconded the *Resolution, which, was carried mianiesnorly. • The Rev. Dr. Rumors rose to move the sth Reso lution. Oa the subject of Religious Liberty, he thight it should be Vete unasked. Ile concluded ley useving the &sidearm :—. 14 That the experience iietisispe from the TA to the 16th centuries has do. aninstreted that these great principles are as import.- set in their practical operation, as. ie theory, they are correct :—and that to their violation are mainly attributable those multitudinous ills which, for abet long period, afilicted benianity—deformed the Chris den Faith—and oppressed tbe - world." Mr. CIIIIIWIC seconded the Resolution, end said; that the Reformation bad established the principle of private judgment on the Holy Scriptures, and .the wavered application' of reason on the subject, in 'emulsifies, to authorities however respectable from their antiquity, however venerable by their sanctity, or bower powerful from their numbers.—(4. Pilasr.)—Christiaelty itself was a Reformation ; sad it wss their du as Christians, to enquire lee' themselves .till the Re format ion itself was r --"f lt Pimie.) Resolution was tarried ananimossly. The Rev. Mr. Bows TOW to repose the sixth Reeoletien, and eloquently eweviarvated the ditties,- des evilest which the Reformation bad to struggle. The whole structure, he observed, of the Catholic &Ogle% was solemn and imposing. Tim first plain. live wefts of genuine Christisalty were beard among the Waidigeases, bet they.were crushed by the power et evil, and perished et the foot of the Alps. When I Lather arose, the illemisatiee sees . so rapid as to bent et one the thick derkosayoldei ooveloped nations ; the mind seeks witch berslept for ages. quieted from his .freepaiticare, who compares a..eation reeling after a.slesp of ignorance and slavery—to an eagle moving in kg .mighty 'teeth ;-4molooldiag with en. dashed eyes the peontWo beam; purging its long abused sight at the foootale of all radiance, while the whole flight of . tiescrees. sod twilieht.lovieg birds! fill the air with their senseless cries. The time of psniscittiso was, he hoped, gone by ; bet if there idle any ass who meditated to 'rest other scaffolds, or to light new fires, they need shot while they had the protecting shield of the House of Hanover. Mr.. B. concluded a muck applaeded speech, by moving iilit aisth Resolution :... 44 That this Meeting could alt easmerate all those evils which flowed frets that that Abundant source—but that the Scriptures were forbidden :—That their steered truths were displaced by corrupt traditions, and simple, tree , and spirited itership by seperstitioes forms :— that Crewed., were sobstiteted fee the pasee-annoencing Gospel, iinotence for knowledge, sad persecution for good will to mee:—Thit Priests, operating by their dernes4 oaths fears and on the hopes of the deluded aura U. taught, exclusively amassed both wealth and power: —That, absobstioris and •indelgences, perchaseeMe froth- them, encouraged • creams :—That admisdes twelt.inteßesiren was made dependant on their dear.

Jolter WILIIII said, that the darkness of Ea. rope before the Reformation was the darkness of the charnel-hoebe. The man who first shed a gleams of light athwart that darkness, must be dear to all those Who relied religion or loved its purity. He Con alluded by' moving the seventh Resolution i•-••• 6 4 That aillicted at the retrospect of evils so much to be de plored, this Meeting delight to trace even thirse stomp of moral light which in the fourteenth cen tury partially dissipated a gloom so oppressive and prefoned t and that the memories of Wickliffe, if Jaime, end of Hess, and of the Waldenses, are iesirated *Rhin their hearts." Mr. Reg is shortly seconded the Resolution, h'wes -'c .whicarried unanimously. . ' Mr. Cota• stated, that he had received a letter from Dr. Swabs', enclosing the copy of . g Grader from the Ciencil or Confession of Aegsborgh, which had jest bees celebrating the Centenary of the Re. .forwrition ; in which Circular the princrples of that great measure were clearly explain.-i and most ini• pressirelt urged.. Mr. C. translated a passage from this letter, In which it was stated, that the Protest ants maintained the right of private judgment, and, without judging or condemning buy of those who differed from them, appealed for the justification of their own opinions to the doctrines of the Apostles. This pilule was loudly applauded. The Rev. Dr. Nawnsiarose, he said, to propose the following Resolution :—" That it is the proclaim. apd important object of this Meeting to csebrate, at this tri.centenial period, that &redoes ItSferesetlee,. which,* in till,. commenced in Seseey—which re. ° chrs*d boo tedija fir iirrokoce--freedowe for epb . pre ids—and a per* Christianity for eeeteptions, aotichristian end , abiurd."—lie congratulated the friends of' Christianity upon the ember of Ladies who were present on this occasion. Voltaire had observed, with a sneer, that half the Christianity of Europe was owing to the Ladies; but the observe. lion was just, and it would; he trusted, continue to be the reed characteristic of that interesting sex to employ kb zest ared inflater* in promoting the cease of Christianity. Bet the principle of the Reformation was peculiarly calculated to excite their attention and °brake their support. The more, indeed, that prin. ciple was discussed, the more it would be found do serving of universal support ; for Luther, who evade the first bold and decisive stand against the abuses of Christianity, had rendered the most important service to that great cause, by illustrating the distinction be tween spiritualities and seculars; between whit was dee to God and what belonged to Cesar ; by esta blishing the right of private judgment es well as of public profession and worship. Suck was the good which that man of noble daring and vigorous intel lect had conferred upon mankind. The question, then, for those who adopted the principles of Luther, and appreciated their Mee, was this, whether they would allow their principles to stand still, or whether they world allow them to go backward or forward ? But be world& ask, could the followers of Luther sod Protostantima be reconciled to lot those piaci pies stand still, while millions of People in the South of &rope were strange.* to „that blessedutes whisk they...

'ward, as Soule of their predecessors were infants. mealy disposed to do in the ti;no of Eduard VE. it was recorded. in history, that ite the course of that 'pats Monarch's reign, there was an insurrection in Itlfideskire. the °Neat of which was to restore the role ' Popery. The insirgenti were, indeed, excited by Popielt Priests, 'who *led them en, bearing the Cross at their bead. This Insurrection was, it would be remembered, so formidable, that , ords Rus sell and Grey . requited a large force to pet it down.. Bat it was remarkable, that according to the 10th of ' the fifteen articles published by the iresergents, as declaratory of their purpose, it was stated that all Bibles, or English publications. with regard to the Holy Scriptures, must be called ia, or that the Priests would not be able to confound the heretics.

J. Mostar, Er+ wooded the motion, and it was corded unaoisnoesly. The Roe. Dr. iieTsitt rose, 'nil...pawl the M. lowing amolotitto t—" That thp Reformadoe bee. ing promoted the recognition of the greet prieciples which this Meeting maintain, has (aided by the art of printing) emancipated many nations from sack asperstitioeseed tyrenny--has bestowed roe the Pee. ple constitetismal freedom, tad restored to Magi. strata lawfal.autbority—hag beret asunder the fete lets which onchained 'the human mind—'tes saw. !Ousted theeiestiay ens of those countries which have not yet. yielded toils iAltence—and hastoottl. bated to that leiprovemeat in mist happiness at whiidt this Meeting can rejoices—although society may not yet have anodised that state which Piety most desire, end Philanthropy approve."—The Rev. Digits', after desrAitting the manly, energetic, mad tillicient 'zoysia's of Luther, pronosuced a glowing eulogises epos the illustrious Chairman, who had, he eillserved, bee. uniformly consistent in the melote mime of those principles which the Meeting was cow. spied to celebrate, and which the Resolution he bed _read es folly expressed. His Royal Ilighuess bad ia - deed most decidedly supported those priori*, upon all occasions, both in and out of Paella sent; for Ito had always defended the right of private judgment and the Freedom of lb. Preis.—( fond applarse.)—ft was ,appartelly through she interpositioa of Divine Providente that the art of printing, the meat of which was so jest. ly acknowledged in theitesoloolea, had beea se for. Innately invented about the eery period when it be came so necessary to promote the great work of the Reformation. But the Art of Printing was nothiag, unless the Right of Printing were admitted ; and it was uotorinusly endeavoured by Papal authority to,pre. vent the free ezercise of that art. The Reformation had, however, defeated those endeavours, and este• blished the Right of Printing. To the principles, lu• deed, of the Reformation, the Freedom of the Press, and the consequent diffasioa if knowledge were mainly attlibitable ; for it was known, that a copy , of the Mile which could not be purchased ender live hsadred crowps before the Art of Printing wes dis• covered, was sone afterwards to be bad for silty crown., while of late, through the improvement of this important art, the poorest sad most humble in dividual is theerpontry could afford to purchase lb's invaleabte•bli6lo - 'The ohllgalious,"theritire, *lda the principles of the Reformation owed to the AA of, Printing were obvious mad indisputable. Bet,,of Att . advantages resetting from the facility of dissemitist ing knowledge through this great art, every "min 1a civilized society must be aware. He recollected as emphatical observation which.. ha bad heard front the illustrious Chairman when some time ego, while the nation was suffering great distress, he had the honour of wilting upon his Royal High ness, is order to make a communication as Sc• emery to tbo Sussex Bible Society. ,ilis Royal Highness then said, that it was rculiarly desirable in circulate the Bible, as the precepts it contained were so well calcalated to reconcile the .poor to the patient endurance of the calamities which they were condemned to suffer.—(4lpplauses.)—Bet it was the Bible, or the principles of the Reformation which were founded upon it, that had raised tbjs nation to the highest pitch of power and character. Therefore it was impossible for the Reformers of Hagiand to reflect upon those principles wit hoot the stigmas; feelings of reverence and gratitude. Bet while re• again* men admired the principles of the Reforma tion, especially for the liberty which they resem• mended, still it most be felt that liberty was not io well understood, or consistently regarclect by seam of the origin.' Reformer., who, although they so forcibly reprobated tyranny an I persecutior, graded their character by prectiking both, as soon as they .bad contrived to vault into power. Althiegli they, preached toleration, they became intolerant no *ono es they . beam* powerfel. Bat having mentioned this .word toleration, ha could not help condemning its meaning and use. lle hoped, indeed, that this word waald soarn become exploded —(Applause)--4in ma earthly method'', had the right -, or the power toCo t rot the harass. mind.

The 1t.,. A. Fcertusa seconded the motion. It was then unanimously agreed to. The Rev.
