' FOR THE THE RELIGION, LAWS, AND POLICY OF THE COUN TRY CONSIDERED, In a Series of Letters, most respeetfully'iriScrified•to the Pro-i • prittor of Tiff Sun. • • .1.43"1'ER Eorrort—Religion, tvherher we consider • it as our prit,itege, nor interest, or astir duty, nay merely as a matter of political expediency, as'es sential to the -moral government,of a State, is cer• tainiy a suliject of the higlicsi_ importance, not 'only. to Nai ions and States collectively, bu't to man kind int!PriduMly. This is 'elearly"&docible from the, 'wore, tendency, and excellency of Religion. itself, and also the history and religious' obser vances of all nations, whether Christian, Pagan, or Ai ahometab yet, in a country like this, s'o re nowned for the poky of itstfaitAi, and the fervour tif its devotion, to occupy ,the, time and attention of mV fellow-countrymen, in attempting tO since them of what each must or ought to be duly s ensible, I aitotild,consider,an .41.sult..botli:to their ondersiancliogs.and their piety, since even a Turk, an Arab, or til'ersian; would resent such ,an at tempt the big'hest indignation, as, he deems: the Religion of the great Prophetimas'he is styled, his proudest brtast, and his. Worship his noblest employ. Can I then suppose that Britain, si land of professing - ldhristians, where - the beitigu Stin of Righteousness has shed his brightest beams of truth and puritly, will feel less zeal and devotion in her Divine-Master's set vice ? Christian charity torblds me evef, for a moment to entertain such a suspicion. , Wtierefore,Aeeming the importance of Religion admitted, I proceed to remark, that if Religion, as it certainly is, he of the highs-'s: InOthebt to our feli cilp here and our felicity hereafter, it is the tubst 'ironer topic for discussion oiz any and everr.oc• rasion : more especially so at the present period, when truths the most clear and sacred are contro-• verted and impugned, theYlares •of God and man set at defiance, and God's infinite and incommu nicable attributes arraigned and adjudged at the inadegnate (Hisao - al of finite reason; when infide lity not only overspreads thCnnturored regiotis barbarism and superstition, but dike a rapid for-' rent is inundating the more civilized and entight ened empires of Europe ; since the learned disqui sitiobsof the phashpher, the elegant effusions - of the poet, and the embellished page of the histo rian, We» the•instructive4nediums of knowledge and amusement, are now ton .frequently the de structive vehicles either of atheism, sceptidsm, immorality ; 'disseminating pririciples,.not • merely hostile - to some particular article of faith,: but sub versive of every principle of a religious establish ment ; consequently dissolving 'every fie wli7ch could render man just' CO Man, just to himself, faithful tit - OsEing, or a sincere worshipper of iris (40d. Wheref ore , see i ng . t h ese 'Lipp are so, it ' becomes not only every Minister or, Christ, but eVery . friend to oider and morality, carefully to detect and , duly to miose 'the per,- nicions etrors .and glaring alisnulities of the pretended Illuminati of the pr;sent day, who are ever on' the alert to poison . the Minds of the unwary, seduce them froth the pail's 'of duty and allegiance, rob ithem of theirpeace, and claiken and embitter the evening of their . days thus in stead of proving ,their friends, as they profess, they ultimately prove their assassins'! Deeply impressed with these•truthi, I - shall now, in order to preventmy,Fellow-suhjects from being led astray by their delusive theories, and Wining their b ightest hopes on the treacherbds basis of such fatal hypothesis, proceed co consider the Evidences, both Natural and Revealed, in support of our Holy Faith, and which God, in his abundant mercy, once delivered - to the'Saints, and which, as Britons and as Christians, it is our pri vilege and our duty to practise and defend. First, then 1 shall notice the evidence in sup port of Christianity, which the life and death of the Atheist affords, since this is taking him on his own ground, coneetioently leaving hint without . excuse. When. Under the term Atheist, I appre hend,' may be included must of the more daring Deists of thi day ; for, hoWever, tinder, the plea of Deism, they may evidelhe Law', appease their consciences, lull their judgment, and satisfy _the reason by beWildering it ; still, as far as volition goes, they are decided Atheists, and that at heart ; while farther titan this they cannot be, as no one was ever yet an Atheist front the convictions of reason, but from the'corrupt bias of a vitiated vo• lition, which, aided by the impetuosity of the pas sions, dethroned his reason, and subdued and laid desolate the nobler empire of the mind.—" 'Azo zu,l , Kccorcov etvroxi eitirycocrscri at)res."--said the co equal,. co-eternal, and ineffable Son of God, where fore, higher authority than thia we cannot ha've. First, then, let sis view the Atheist in the busi ness and bustle of life, immersed in all its cares, anxieties, difficulties, and 'embarrassments ; can he, with all his boasted endowments, superior at tainments, acumen of diseeinment, luminous powers of reason, min presumptuous independence of his Gud, cats he, 1 say, command health and strength, when, and wisert; he pleases, for the management of his affairs ? Os., can he ensure suc cess its Isis complicated undertakings ? Is the din) light .of his own finite and depraved reason suffi cient to illuminate Isis path, and to secure bins against those innumerable casualties and contin gencies which every where await him ? Can he say to the functions of life, ye shall not be imped ed; and to Disease, thoU shalt not assail my fratne ? Can he say to misfortune, 1 defy thee, and" to prosperity, ,thou shalt crown every enterprise ,As well might be, my Friends, bid the thunders roll, the lightnings _to glare, the clouds to with hold their rain, the stars their shining, the sun to retire into primmval obscurity, the seas 'ty be dried,up, or the earth to be hurled from its,ba. lance, and crumbled into invisible . particles ;, jor 'I 'T . ':• the,sameGrn .. xt created, maintains, and directs all • these;' rot t Verf,• anitnated, and supports' hit feehi t i;fyi l ibe;',,iv whose Driminotent'fiat we shoot ,forth into being,der ,crumble in the dust of the ,grave -Thus wesee- 7 ,--we know-r,an.t he, himself 'is 'etliivineed,i - iiiiiii , e;cer he 'may dei!y it that—. - In God' livesi artill'Obve's; and 'has •bis hving bet , lis next view,,h,ini surrounded•by .his rising family, %vim look rip to hitn for support, protec lon, and instn ; wad dso; tkcorditig to his own vitiated opiniOnc• they !must-lor existence, as he disallows, the being of a Guth; the : absurdity of which opinion is too : glaring to n e ed fin - thee rem , trk ; I therefore pass on to inquire, can he ensure their health, strength, end improvement during the tender and uncertain•morning of life or their success, happiness, and respectability, when they mingle with its busier scenes, any more than he.can his own ? He is convinced that he cannot: Does he never betray:stich.a convic tion by the ardent wish, anxious h o p e ., whi c h h e vxpresses, ot by the fervent prayer 'which' he se cretly offers., that GVid would grationsly inspire the minds, gnine the pursuits, Knit bless en• deavours of Isis .nottitored offspft; I can I sup pose, nay, will charity suffer rue to conchnle he does not ? "Yet, if he be consivent with himself, be tanuot ; yet, I think, we may fairly infer, that inisucli a case, Atheistical consistency would :odd , to parernalati,eion, and thus he another argu ment in linpfro:l of out Holy iiclilwion. Thirdly, let us view hint on he bed of sickness, writhing with tob;,ony aria towing with disquietude'; linable for a single,moinent to abate c h.e vir=ilence of the disease, allay his pain, or flitter himself with the hope of recoVery singe the skill of the physician is vain, medicine yields no relief, end ex hausted natu,re'appearto t sink under the acen inulved pressure 0t dise ! ise. Does he then, my frjends, never raise an imploring eye, a suppliant 'glance, nor offer a''repentant prayer to the gracious -Father of mercies . for relief . and.f6r.recoyery is .Yet here again, if,l4e he consistent with himself, he cannot, ,since ltc professedly' denies the exist ence, disallows - the? attributei: and despises the 'mercy of the only Being who could afford him relief. Still, however daring he 11)(17 be, in health and strength, here I think 'bat infidelity mnst drop'the intik, and trembliilg "liuM3nit'Y in bleed gliccent suppliantly , opproach an offendvloGod ; end g hiss pointedly and powerfully .convince all who may surround his bed, that Ileigirin . is not a cunningly devised tab!e,.but that'" it'is'ilfePoWer of God, and the wisdom of Goti v to,cat.vatiou to every one who belie%eth." Lastly, let,ps vjew in. the solemn moments of expiring lonnipity the icy hind of death is aoto to draw - the dtirtain of life for ever ; when las votaries can.no.looger Hid kri:s.Soppose.tl triumph per' religion tud Tirtoc, apd hiss er9 , 1,01 .. irn with the %ads" of vice, While that Merciful God, whose name betas - blasphemed; whose Son he -has despised, and.w:hose word - I te.. hp, s reviled, ap pears to, him a GoCarray in ed terror” while me, mory, tenacious of tie past, recalls each pla - ce, each act, and each methiol, where and by which he set God at tit fiance ; while the finger of conscience points, and the vivid pencil of tangy ppttrays, with the radianceof,a suO-Ifeam, each wait un, each blasphriny against the Adorable rind Ever blet:se4l-1) ; while the frame that,onc'e boasted i ts fi rmness t o:ac t or to stiffer in the cause of Atheism, Deism, and Infiddity, now shakes with horror, and While.the eye', which once flashed de fiance at the Ministers of God,. now fears to be. hold the light ! Here pity entreats me to cancel the sequel, yet truth imperatively enjoins m e to disclose, the whole. Let us then, my friends, ere 'the last gasp claie the awful scene, appro!,ch the wretched couch of expiring infidelity, and catch the last tremulous confession as it escapes Elton his lips. What does it import ? That he has de spised the gracious oveitures of Divine- mercy, and counted the blood of .thecovenant an unholy ,thing, and therefore is without hope :--tint he is convinced of the harmony of the Divine Attri butes; of the Divinity and Mediatorial Office of Christ, 'of the Divinity of the Holy,Spirit, and of the authenticity of the Holy Scriptures. When todescribe Ore. : closing scene would require an Angel's pendeath preying on his vitals, 'the 1 vultures of misery preying on his conscience, anti Ha theadfol Eternity yawning tti..his view,,rendee the scene too terrific any longer to support ! Let us then drop the tribute of a tear to his 'misery, and retire, convinced of the truth of our Holy Religion how the life and death of the Atheist.-- Yet had be biter:_ a sincere believer in Christ, in stead of the horrors whiCh thus surround and over ' whelm him, all the ineffable glories of a future world would burst upon his view ! Hence we may fairly inter the . palpable absur dity why) the conduct of"these deficri of God, despisers of Christ, and re'vile-rs• of every thing , moral ant) religious, displays, since their life e.(41 ! . tradictr their assertions, and its miserable close sets their seal to tie testimony. Wherefore, my Friends' and 'Fellow-subjects; veliateVi+ may be their conduct, let it be our highest ainbition tt tear God, honour the King :. nor ever let us blush to wear the epaolet of . our God on one shoulder, _and epaulet of King , on the other : thus let us defend tire ramparts- of Old England, guard- the gates of Jernsalem, and protect the Ark °low GO.
