r. THE REV. U. B. WlLsuti.
The hearing of this cam upon the admissibility at the
ob-les of indictment was resumed this muruing.
rhillimore, in of his arguments on the part of
the promoter, observed that the special differences which
dotinguiehed this case from that of the Bishop of Salisbury
, were few, sod he should therefore avoid as
far as possible any repetition of the arguments,
„on certain greot branches of the subject common to both
~,es, which he ...dimmed to the court on the former
~sion. Ile should only bendy, if at all, touch upon the
-tiou of the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, or upon
'.O-aning of the wools in the articles relating to the
books of Scripture, both which points had been
~—,sl at very great length, sod illustrated with name-
..authorities on both eidos, in the case of "The Bishop of
v. William," The filet point of distinction was,
~ lii. Demo had pointed out, in the promoter of the
ottice. Mr. Feudal! was proctor for the clergy of
-,.- di,,oso of Ely, and be proceeded by letters of request
Ice desoson, the veserable and, he regretted to say,
Bishop of Ely, who was now in hie Seth
.toother special circumstance in this case
that while in common with the case of
pie '• llishop of Solisbury v. Williams," the defendant
cl.en;olfor the clergy the liberty of denying the inspiration
et the 11.4 y Scriptures, and denying that by the Word of
ond es. meant the Holy Scriptures, there was in Mr.
W1i4013.4 essay a direct statement of the wish of the writer to
to. from all the fetters which at present the formularies
cf the church imposed upon him, and a suggestion emanate
og almost to an invitation to other clerks in holy
or'orybdates for holy orders, to subscribe to the articles

Ti. opini,m, with the extract in which it cc-
nand, were set out in the articles for the pewees first,
it chargiug that such opinions were an offence per se by a
,:eit in holy enters ; end, secondly, as showing the animus
sal intention with which this part of the way was
entice. In maintaining and promulgating doctrines
Mel were not consistent with the plain grammatical
twerally noilerstousl meaning of the formularies,
fir. Wilson was acting a dishonest sod a treacherous part
towards tie church of England. Attention had been drawn
the fact that the promoter was not proceeding in this
oar under the statute of Elizabeth. The reason that
is this ram, as in the case of Dr. Williams, the prosecution I
thee mother to proceed under the general law was that
it per ;rester scope to the lenity sod mercy of the court
thet d these promediop had been taken notice the
>tame of Elizabeth, sod they had inceteeloil no
claw° would b' left to the court as to the sentence
would have to pronounce. Authorities had been
oforol to 1.. the defen.laut's counsel to show that others
entertained 01,110414 which they coosblered might jus-
•, the writia.:s of Mr. Wilson, and his learned friend had
',dr.' to the court not by it, decieion in this awe to
I the cleritv do.n to formulancs which could not eon-
•,t, i.e literally Moment But it was not
‘. One the province of the court to consider whether the
,seilaries of the church were at were not too stringent,
- .1 in the we of "hunter v. Heath," the court in giving its
,4toret detained to °pen doors for discussion which
•. e legislature had closed. Great importance had been
...00hed to the fact that le the articles there was no
. some directiou that every part of the Scripture
1.1 he believed to be the Word of God. Such a declaration
• I ,iever have Lem thnuobt of, for without the Bible
- • 11.1 be no church. awl the whole of the articles were
nisei the aeceptioion of the whole of the Serip-
se inspired be God. The very object of the
-etas of the lissom of Scripture in the Bible was to
,whale from the leeching of the church uncertain stories
sail Ispods, and retain nothing but the pure Word of
Bed. The contention of his learned friends was that
the Bible was partly the Word of God and partly the no-
rm word of man, and that a clergymaa was not II
beiand to accept the whole as the Wool of God. A clergy-
sue was than at liberty to, uestiou the literal truth of any
pot of the Ss-ripens Ise pleased, and with this teaching
what he wanted to know was what was to become of the I
11.6111111iy of the church ! Proosedisg to refer in detail
to the articles of oohs:talent, lir. Phillumes addressed his
eleervations in the ant instance to those articles which
relate to the subecriptieo of the clergy. He described
the object of tho writer in the mired quoted
its tame artieles as to get nil of the bombge of subscription
and to substitute a eystem of greater liberty. Mr. Wilson
proposed to set at sought the lint five articles of
relapse, which were the meet solemn of the whole
sot by a direst contnielictioe, for that might incur the
/malt* of the statute, but am the ea ayist •xpri=tait
"peeing by the side" of them, though they
such doctrines as the incantation el our Lord and the Holy
Unity. Thais. might led...trines which a clergeman of the
dwelt of hEsiglish was at liberty to entertain, but he should
be surprised if some judgment of the court should enaction
retch a liberty. This evasion by Mr. Wilson of his sub-
emptioe, la which he invited others to fellow
• is contrary to principles of common honesty, and wee. the
:,.used weasel cooteseled, censurable and punishahlem as
o•-lesiostical court.
