Terrullian (C. Hermog. e. 2'2) ' the Nissen of Scripture.

anything from it.' On this, principle our 20th Article

anything that iS contrary to God's Word written ;
neither rosy it so expound one pima of Scripture, that
It be rerugnant to another;' and, on the other hand,
as our Church professes no novelties herself, she
tolera'es nons, at leaat In her own ministers. They are
at liberty to exercise their right of private judgment
upon her Articles of faith, as to whether they will bind
themselves to expound the truth accordingly; but it.
holds thedi responsible afterwards to the terms of their
ordination. The thirtytnine Articles set forth neither
more nor leas than 'the Faith once delivered to the

In the year 1769 a manoirrvant of any grandfather's,
on the turnpike road between Lytehett Minster and the
town of Poole, Dorsetehire' was caught in • fearful
storm of wind, rain, hail, thunder, and lightning. The
two latter were appalling—the lightning was moot vivid
and the reverberations of the thunder, while the storm
raged In its fury, shook the ground. At last the sash
ant the report were simultaneous, when the man saw •

bolt, lie hail the presence if mind to go to the spot, end
