NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH.
'(continued)
XIX. That Charity and Faith .are mere flfentai
and perishable thfaigs, unleG they be determined
to works, and exist therein, whensoever it is prac
ticable. And that neither Charity alone, nor faith
alone produce good works ; bait that both chari
ty and faith together are nefeffaty to produce
them. True Chrifl. Ref. n. 3,5 to 377, 45010
453° ' ' "'
XX. That there are three universal loves viz.
the love of Heaven, the love of the' world, and
the love of life, which, when in right Subordina
tion, make maperfea; but when they are not
in right Subordination, that they prevent and ip r ,
vert him. True Cbrifl. Rel. n. 394 to 405.
XXI. That m^n hath freewill in fpiritua)
things, and that without this Free-will the world
would be of no manner of Use, and conf-quently
no Church could exist ; and that without free-will
in spiritual things there would be nothing about
man, whereby he mightjoin himfelfby Recipro
cration with the Lord, but God himfelt be chrge
able as the author of evil, and all would be mere
absolute predomination, which is (hocking and dr
testable. True Chrifl. Rel. n. 479 to 485, New
Yer. 141 to 149.
XXII. That Miracles are riot to beexpected
at this day, because they carry compulsion with
them, and take awoman's free will intfp ritual
things. True Chfijl. Rel. n. 5,*,^ PrOT)tt
"x^il. That Repentance is the beginning and
foundation of the church in man ; and. that i?
conGiteth in a man's examining not only the ac.
tions of his life, but also rhe 'intentions ms his will,
an 1 in abstaining frbm evils,, because they are Sins
against God. True Chrifl. Rel. n. 510 to 566.
XXIV. That Regeneration or the New Birth
is effected of the Lord alone, by charity and faith,
during man's cooperation ; and that it isa grad
pal not an instantaneous '^ork, the several Stages
thereof answering to those of man's natural birth,
in that he is conceived, carried in the womb,
brought forth and educated. T.C. R. n. 576 to
578,583 to 586. •
XXV. That in proportion as man is regene
rated, in the fame proportion his fins are remov
ed : and that this removal is what is meant in the
word by the rtemiffiof iof fins, T. C. R. n. 611 to
'xXVL That all have a capacity to be regener
ated; because all are redeemed, every one accord
ing to this State. True Chrifo Rel. n. 579 to 582.
XXVII. That bothevil Sprits and good Spir
its are attendant noon every man; and '''at 'he
evil'Spirits dwell in. and excite his evil affethons,
and that the good Spirits dwell in and excite his
good afl-aions. Tftie Christ, Rel. n. 596
XXVIII. That spiritual temptations which
Pre conflifts between good and evil, truth and
falfhood, are a means of Purification and regene
ration, and, that the Lord alone fighteth for man
therein. Ibid.„ , . .
XXIX. That the imputation of the merit and
righteousness of Christ, web confits in redemp
tion, is a thing impoffible]; and that itcan no
more he applied or ascribed to any Anrel or man,
than the creation and preservation of the Uni
verse can ; redemption being a kind of Creation
of the Angelic. Heaven artew, and also of the
church. True Christ. Rel. it. 640. ,

Abe NEW Emiffon Bank Bills.
A CERTAIN federal (therefore, ) print,
has made a ruind assertion, that the new bills issu
ed from the Old Bank in Newhampihire promifag
payment in Philadelphia, " are received as CUR
RENTLY as ANY Bills in the United States."^e
are saved the trouble of Contradicting this filly
falfe assertion—the pains the issuers have taken-to
get them into circulation, and the difficulty they
have already met with, are Efficient evidences
how CURRENTLY these New bills are receiv
ed Many men have refilled them ; many more
will refufe them, (if offered); and it is at lead
presumable that they will not pass so currently
with any, (except the particular advocates of the
Old Bank, “ who have not yet put off their
mourning weeds' 'for the Renovation of Repub
licanifin latt-March.) And let thffi ihow that any
men have, ever hesitated to take the Bills of the
United States Bank, or any of its Branches, Before
they have the effrontry to affect'that these new
bills (the offspring of haflard FederaliJm) pass as
'• currently" as any other bills- in the UIS. Do
any men refufe tiie Bills of the MaffaChufetts, the
Newburyport, the Essex, the Providence, tte
Union, the Portland, of the United States Bank
Bills? No. The Bills of none of these Banks have
ever been tefufed; yet an " abandoned newspa
per" affects that “ those new bills are receited as
currently as any bills in the United States ^-Oh 1
Shame ! Everf the old bills of th,ewharri,fhire
bank itfelf, paCs with much more currency than
these new bills or orders on Philadelphia. Nor
can the men who issued these new bills resfonabl,
expect they will readily meet a currency, till
they give (bribe better ev idericethan the bills carry
on their face, or the vague insinuations of a venal
tory newspaper, that the Silver can bte bad tor
them even in Philadelphia. These men would
di(h people to believe that the Newlrampfhire
Bankis in fact now made into a Branch of the
Bank of the United States. Let us not test the
contraaiflion on the mere affections of us 66 Jaco
bins !" But let usexamine the tenor ofthe Bills,-
and draw onr demonstrations from them ; Ibe
Bills of the REAL Branch Banks are worried thus.
“ the PreJident, Directors & Company ofthe Bank
of the United States, promise to pay, on demand, at
their Officfof Discount and Deposit AT. Boston: '
They do not refer the holder to Philadelphia, for
payment. These New bills runthns: <',kty

neither the Pfefidenfo Directors nor company o^
the United States Bank are in the teatt degree
obligated ; nor do these new bills carry the least
kind of evidence that they are “ authorized
checks'? on the United States Bank I We hare
therefore no evidence, except the insinuation of
a newsprint, notorious only for iff disorganizing;
scurrility and opposition to the Government and.
Constituted Authorities of onr country,.
To encourage the idea, that these new bills are
really as good as any other, and to induce.the peo
ple “ through the country" to telieve^ they will
meet ready payment in Philadelphia, this creature;
of a party, these tools of the Old Bank, endeavour
to treat' with contempt the suggestion, that these
new bills will be paid at the United States Bank,

that wonderful teacher who appetite^' ih Jiidea,-
more than seventeen centuries agoflas a Galtitean 1

Had these maxims been obferved' by them who
call themselves Christians, would there ever have
appeared upon the face of the earth, such crea

popes, lordly bi (hops, perfeenting priests, and
Christian kings that are real despots ?,

of the United States Bank, or till the Directors of
the Newhampfhire tank actually furnifh funds for
the purpose. Application may be made at the V.
"State's Bank, but the tenor of those New E,niffion
Bills does not give any legal demand upon that
bank.
The! Old Bank croaker hammers out his fine
, foan fugg eftioDs into a tacit condemnation of the
ferpeptiue conduft of his crooked hearted makers,
id the following extraordinary exultation ; " We

Here is an implicit acknowledgement, that the
arguments of the Stockholders of the New Bank,
hitherto urged in favour of Its incorporation, are
just, and ohght.to have had weight with the Le

Owners of the Old Bank against the New,are with-,'

pt? the principles of their incorporation to anfwteC
the commercial purposes of the Rate; it in sass
more banks than one are necessary, (anQ these new
bills demonstrate it) why then, in the name of
common fepfe, shall not the New Bank be incor
porated 3 Why mall the Banking business be veil
ed in a class of men w hose dinted capital forces
them to an unprecedented expedient ; whefe bills,
payable in the fate, flow in upon them in such
floods, as may necessitate them to invent a new
Icheme, to refer the holders of their bills fpr pay
-Iment to a diftauce of"more than four hundred
miles from the place whence they are iffned, and
from the date of Newhampfhire too ? Will this
sheer manoeuvre compensate the Proprietors of
the New Bank for the money they expended in
preparing their bank, and for „ hich the old bank
ers now prove the necessity ? Will the exultation
ilm they can answer the demands of the commerce
with their new bills, (which are completely form
ed, but " will not go,") will this fatisfy those
citizens who have been deprived of the exercise of
the common rights, guaranteed to all, by the Con
ititution ? Will this atone for the infill they have
procured to be offered to the dignity of a Free
State, through blind zeal and the charm which
Jacobin once possessed ?—No ! And the day is
coming, when justice (hall govern ; and when
party zeAl shall not pals for Patriotism!
Notwithstanding the “ Qimfy insinuation, that
" a§ much money may now be had, as people have
credit to procure it with ;" yet, from attendant
.circumstances, we make the following deduaions:
That the Old Bank has not a Capita) (efficient tor
the business which they with the exclulive privi
lege of doing ; witness their bills payable only in
Philadelphia : Hence the necessity of another
Bank; —That, should people in fa & have credit
enough to borrow the New bills, they may ans
wer the purpose of getting to the bank 6 per cent
from the borrower, but they will not answer the
purposes of commerce, because they do not pass
so currently as any other bank bills in file United
,lat<o , therefore the noeeffity for incorporating
another bank, (or at least of taking off the refrain
ing aft,) in Newhampfhire is not in the least di
ipmifhed, nor the wants of the Merchant alleviat
ed; but the embarrassments of commerce rather
encreafed ; because people will n °f red so much
confidence in bills payable in-pliiladelphia, as in
,those payable in Portsmouth-—-On the whole, as
the word Jacobin is fall going out of use among
the people generally in- Newhampfhire, and has
already 101 l its force as applied againll the Repub
licans, (it now fervihg only the fame purpose to
the federalifts, as the rattle to the child); we an
ticipate, that ere long these Old Bank Patriots
will cry Peace ! Peace ! and content (or not dp
pofe) that the Legiflafure shall ALLOW their
neighbours the fame Privileges with themselves,
the right of “ acquiring, ufmg, and defending
Property," according to the Conflitution : .with-,
out endeavouring to point the finger of popular'
contempt at every man, and wishing him profcrib- !
ed as a Jacobin, because he encourages the incor
poration of the “ Langdon Bank."
“ As much money %y now be had, as people
have credit to procure it with." Formerly, the
CREDIT requisite to procure money at the Old;
Bank, was, limn man mull be a profeffed Federa
lif, a violent reviler of Democracy, and must de-'
notince every one a Jacobin who would not con

.THE following extrad fromTheGolpel its own
Witneft, by Andrew Fuller^D. P. an English
dorgy man, will Show the moral and religousthar-,
falter of the British Court. Although the Author's
observations are general, yet as he does not even.
hint an exception in favor of his own country,and :
Was probably affixed, in part at leafy in this form
ation of his general opinion, by wh@t knowledge
he there obtained, we may conclude the reprefen
ration, in qneftion,will give ui a pretty just idea (
ofcthe moral and religious charagerof the,Eng

HAfraot," fays Mr. FULLER, "the Courts

I >een tlie prolefled Religion ot the land, been gen
erally att nded by a far greater proportion ot"
Deists, than of serious Christians ; arid have not
public medfures been directed much mure by the
councils of the former than by those of the latter ?
It is well known that great numbers ainongd tiw
nobility and gentry of every nation consider Reli
gion as foiled only to vulgar minds ; and ;here<
)fore they either wholly absent themselves. from
worship, or attend but seldom, and then only to
save appearances towards a National Eflablifh
ment, by which provision is made for the younger
branches of their families. In other words, they
are unbelievers." Page 63, New-York Edition.
The idea which we are hereby led to form of
the charader of the British Government, is. cor
roborated and illudrated in a itriking manner, by
a very extraordinary reprefemarion contained iu
Knox's Essays. He calls it a feene of fiction, by
way of exemplication.' .t
“ We mutt have ^faf soon, fays the statesman,
'* for the Americans have had one already." "It
is unnecessary," replies the privy councillor, in
in the jockey dress, " it is all a fa,ce." "Brethren
friends," subjoins the statesman, "1 am not ten
der of such formalities than you are ; but you
know it indecent, and we mull conform external
ly at lead, to the prejudices ot the mob." «It is
decent; my Lord," re-echoes the bench of Bishops.
44 Will you go to church, my Lord Duke ?"
fays one. lowly bowing to his patron. “ No;|
think it decent, and you will be there on that ac
count,'but as I am engaged to-day at billiards, 1
mutt beg to be excused."
"Our Religion," continues Mr. Knox," teach
es us to separate one day out of seven for religious
purposes. But many of the wife men, who wer^
born to be our Englifti Solons and Lycurgi;
or, in other Words, happened to be defeended
from pious ancestors, and therefore fit as heredi
tary legislators, confider the inttitution merely as
a foolifh fuperflition, and therefore spend the Sab,
bath at cards, and in dissipation, and very much
lament these gross prejudices-of the common peo
ple which make it decent and prudent not toppen.
the theatres, and eliven the horrid dulnefs of the
dav by public diversions.' 1 , f
Yet such a Government may find it extremely
convenient to make an uproar, about our holy re
ligion, modern infidelity, and French principles.
After reading such (bodging accounts of the ir
religion which so greatly prevails in JEuglandjand
so much characterizes her, we are naturally led
to think of the Englifti party in the United States.
Let them blush for the country to which they are
so much devoted. Let them disprove if it be in
their power, the foregoing itatements —Let them
,endeavor to extenuate the odioufuefs and atrocity
of that hypocrisy to which we have adverted.—
Let this Religious “ fe&" call the broad mantle
of their charity over the blafpbemy which so much
obtains among the Solons and Lycurgi of the
British court, the Lords and Gentlemen of that
happy country, and noble federaHfis of Great Bri

Great Britain, published in the year 1760, by
the Rev. W. Law.
64 Look at all European Chriflendom, failing
round the globe, with fire and sword, and every
murdering art, to Seize the possessions, and kill,
the inhabitants of 'both the Indies. What natural
right of nfan, what supernatural virtue which
Christ brought down from heaven, was not here
trodden under toot ?— All that you ever read or
heard orteathen barbarity, was here outdone by
chriftian conquerors. And to this day, what
wars of chriliians against Chilians, blended with
Jcalping lieathens. RUI keep staining the earth and
the seas with human blood, for a miserable Share
in the spoils of a plundered heathen world I A
world, which Should have heard or seen, or felt
nothing from the followers of Christ, but a divine .
love, that had forced them from diflant lands, and
through the peril of long seas, to viht Dangers
with those glad timings of peace and salvation to
all the world, which angels in heaven, and lh^
herds on earth, proclaimed at the birth of Christ.
But the wisdom of this world hath ajked W%

croachments are robberies, as would otherwise be
the fate of chridia Kingdoms from one another ?
This question is so far from needing to be ans
wered by me, that it is wholly onnty fide; it con-
Seffes all, and pi owes all that I have laid of the fal
len State of chriftendom to be flriftly true, —For
if this is the governing spirit ofc Chriflian king
