" The Anti-Deist," in Answer to the publication called " The

Deist"'
By John Bellamy.
" From tho proofs I have given in answer to the objections ad-
vanced by these writers, it will be seen that all they have said con-
cerning the geographical and chronological errors and contradic-
tions which they have thought are in the Pentateuch,' amounts to
mere supposition, and supposition proves nothing. 'Voltaire has
committed the same errors ; and Mr. Volney, in his Researches en
Ancient Kingdoms,' just published, who has presumed to speak
against the chronology, like his deistical predecessors, has disgraced
himself by showing his utter inability to explain the obvious and
consistent chronology of the Pentateuch, of the Kings of Judah and
Israel, as they now stand in all the European translations of the
Bible."

" Of all the various ways in which human weakness manifests
itself, perhaps there is none wherein it is snore pompously displayed
than by pretending to improve the mechanism of the universe.
Our own country is not altogether barren of such pretensions; and
if at any time we are likely to run short of scepticism, we have
only to call for help from the Continent. There is an instance of
this in a work from which better things might have been expected,
where Laplace is introduced, alleging, that had the moon been
made to enlighten the earth, nature has been frustrated in her.de-
sign, for that end is not answered. Our author then, compas-
sionating the weakness of nature, proposes the scheme of a per-
petual full moon.' "—Extracts.

Church Union ; a Series of Discourses, in which it is urged that
the neat Christian Duty, of Maintaining Communion with the
A*m..l Church, remains uncancelled by the tolerance of
British l.rs.—By Edward Davies.
" The Spirit of God In the Gospel enjoins the profession of one
immutable faith, the admission of one consistent form of doctrine,
and the observance of one orderly system of discipline. Truth is
still invariable. It is, therefore, impossible the Spirit of Truth
should at present teach a diversity of faiths, a variety of doc-
trinal systems, and an immunity from the laws of good order.
"It cannot, then, be maintained that in our days, and without
any degree of evidence, the same Spirit should contradict itself, ab-
rogate the laws of the Gospel, dissolve the union of the Church, and
authorise unlimited separation."
" By the most eloquent and popular advocates of liberty, these
limitations are too often overlooked, and are sometimes disallowed.
Hence the popular mind has been impressed with a loose and
vague notion of gigantic freedom, without a definite form of law-
ful circumspection; and this indistinct image has caught the atten-
tion of many who acknowledged themselves, hitherto, as members
of the Established Church, but whose attachment, under the bane-
ful influence of this illusion, is ' wavering and undetermined. It
is to persons of this character that these discourses are more parti-
cularly addressed, in the hope of recalling their notice to the
evangelical limits of Christian freedom."—Sermon V. on the
Unity of the Church, p. 105.
" It is not easy to conceive how the kingdoms of this world can
become the Kingdom of Christ, unless they be governed by the
principles of his Gospel, and committed to the administration of
princes who shall advance the prosperity of the Church."
" lithe Prince, the Magistrates, and the Legislative body be
infidel or heretical, a reciprocal support of the Church is hardly to
be expected from them. But there is no sacred law which with-
holds from Kings, Lawgivers, and Magistrates, the privilege of
being sincere disciples of Christ, and members of the one Aposto-
lical Church. And if such they are, they have, by their profes-
sion, subjected themselves to the positive laws of the Gospel, which
commands all Christians alike, each in his station, and according to
the power which God hath given him, to maintain the faith, the
order, and good discipline of his Church."
" The language of the Gospel is simple and intelligible. It en-
joins unity, harmony, and, co-operation amongst all the members of
the Church of Christ, whether they be civil or spiritual officers,
whether they be nobles or peasants."—p. 360, Extracts.
Sermon XV. Scriptural Grounds for the establishment and the
acknowledgment of a National Church.
A " letter" having been addressed "to the Queen, by a Friend
of the People"—rather a flatterer—wherein the gentleman who
writes it, or the amanuensis—to give weight to his admonitions—
thus recommends himself :—" I am an experienced man, well
stricken in years"—and in order to engage more implicit attention
on behalf of her people, recommends them to our august Sove-
reign's ear by informing her:" that their leisure hours are occupied
by reading the discoveries of Laplace." In continuation ; " how
far your habits may resemble the business-like propensities of your
father and the late King, or the pampered, indolent ones of George
IV. ;" (" error rest with him in his grave--it shall never be re-
membered on his epitaph")--" if they (your servants) shall net
dare withhold this letter, they will assuredly represent it as dis-
respectful." " A year has made great changes in the feelings of ex-
uberant loyalty and unmeaning affection, which greeted you on your
first public apearance—for what possible claim to national grati-
tude, or to public confidence could you possess, when you had
never rendered a single public service, nor been tried or known by
any one particular, except that nothing unfavourable to you had
ever transpired? As you were popular without having done a
single thing to gain the esteem of the people, so you are become
unpopular without having done any thing to forfeit their favour."
As her Majesty in her maiden speech to her people expressed her
reliance that they would take to heart " the early years that the
ponderous and complicated machinery of Government had fallen
upon her shoulders," we, whose heads age has whitened with its
mows, have assumed the province of monitors.
As it is laid to the reproach of her Majesty " her being popular
without having done a single thing to gain the esteem of the
people," we most respectfully submit to her notice the following
incitement. As history is philosophy, teaching by example, and
this commemoration of one of the most brilliant epochs of our history
(though hoping it will be surpassed), we introduce it.
" Then sprung up the mighty Elizabeth; and mingling her
existence as a Sovereign with the preservation of the true faith,
lashing herself to the mainmast of Reformation ; on that vessel
she securely rode the storm, and established the independence of
her kingdom."—The Times.
" There were several reviews on the new Translator's production
of the Pentateuch. Here again the munificence of our Sovereign's
truly august Uncle was so conspicuous—his gracious command for
50 copies !—and so stifled all further opposition, that the subsequent
parts, published in 1825, 1830, 1834, and 1835—t0 these there
has been that tacit concurrence, that we are justified in saying the
silence of the Clergy has given consent.' "
Extract from Letter addressed to her Majesty's Secretary of
State for the Home Department.:—" The Sun."
October 28,1837.

" The concurring declaration of this Paper to the merits of
The New Translation of the Bible'—which can be read to this
purport in The Sun,' December 5, 1818, of the utmost im-
portance to the interest of mankind'—(this too confirmed by
those on whom eternal sunshine settles on their heads), and the
various columns through which it has been circulated, preclude

the possibility of reply for these simple reasons, the ill-graced act
it would be from the Clergy, and the odium and obloquy it would
draw down upon, and confirm upon their heads for suffering the
people to be misled and bewildered on the theme of eternal truth.
As like the Roman in the Capitol, we wish to adjust our mantle ere
we fall, and allure others to brighter worlds and lead the way, this
our path of pleasantness, becomes, most gracious Sovereign, in you
a bounden duty, for we are admonished—' Let us beware how we
trifle with holy things.' The laws of Christ remain uncancelled,
and continue to be binding upon all Christians, under all circum-
stances.' Kings, as disciples of Christ, have, by their profession,
subjected themselves to the positive laws of the Gospel, which com-
mands all Christians alike to maintain the faith according to the
power God hath given him.' "
See " The Sun," Jan. 17, 1839.
" The Constitution of your Country enables you to do the deed
of worth'—the Fourth Estate, the Press, the souls of congenial fire
with

• . . "beam of song bright with intelligence,
With flash of wit—with blaze of eloquence,"

• "an act such as ne'er

Milton expressed a hope of ".leaving something so written to after
to touch and purify the
ages, that they should not let it die." " But this," says he, "is
not to be obtained but by devout prayer to that Eternal Spirit, that
can enrich with all utterance and knowledge, and sends out the

" We pray the Eternal Spirit for you to consummate the deed."
