EW TRANSLATION of the BIBLE.
I_ll " Without entering into theological discussions, he
would just mention what was universally admitted, that the
established Church made her articles wide, vague, and
beral as possible, in order to include as large a number of
dissentient and discordant opinions as she could. This is
fully confirmed by the oracle of the Church, The Times,'
in its constant appeals to that Sectarian mouthpiece,' The
Watchman,' to the tenor of The Wesleyan Ministry, the
great outwatch of the Church,' and ' help, help, Titinius—
as a sick girl.' "—P. 50. Great Catholic Meeting.—The
London and Dublin Weekly Orthodox Journal, No.

" This patch and piebald work in religion is spoken of
by some as affording to the Almighty the pleasing spectacle
of great variety. But, come, let us try this a little. What!
a variety of religious creeds pleasing to God I Will any one
openly hold that God delights in a variety of beliefs ? There
can be but one true belief, all the rest 'Mist be false. Every
deviation from the truth is a lie. Eacli sect must believe
that all the other sects are in the, high road to perdition.
To think in any other way about the matter, is to consider
all faith and all religion as a mere farce. And yet, there
are men to pretend that a variety of faiths is pleasing to the
God of truth I
" There can be but one true religion. All the rest must
be false. It is dismal, enough, then, to know that there
are forty of them, or thereabouts. The printing and
publishing of the Bible may possibly have established the
one true religion ; but, at any rate, it must have created
thirty-eight false religions. There can be but one true
one, mind."—Mr. Cobbett's Weekly Register, Saturday,
June 12, 1824.
Combinations of the Roman Catholic Clergy, &c."
An association was last eveuing assembled in the parish
priest's residence, the parchial house, (the French En-
voy being present), Lower Exchange, &c. which the
Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, and the other
priestly members call " An As*sociation for the Propaga-
tion of the Faith, to co-operate with those already esta-
blished at Paris and Lyons." " Resolved, also, that
the Secretary convey our thanks through the Rev. Mr.
Toole, who appears here on the part of the Central
Committees of Paris and Lyons, the warmest thanks, not
sly of this meeting, but of Catholic Ireland generally, for
the promptitude and zeal with which they have on 'different
occasions, advanced more than ten thousand pounds to the
missions of the British Colonies, and two hundred and
forty pounds to Dr. Griffith, lately sent to the Cape'of
Good Hope, to *carry forward the great work of religion."
—The Morning Herald, Sept. 22, 1138.
" What were their principles? They distinctly held
that no prince, potentate, or parliament, had any right
over the education of the children belonging to the Ca-
tholic Church—thatChui ch established upon the foundation
laid down by Christ the Redeemer." " But
that the State should overpower the Church, that the body
should prevail over the ghostly, that the world should
triumph over heaven, we neither will, nor can consent to
tolerate. "—P. 48.
" He need not go back to those comparatively remote pe-
riods, but could refer to what had occurred recently in
Prussia, where there was a Protestant Government, and
a venerable Catholic Archbishop felt it his duty, as it was
undoubtedly, to expel heresy from a University in which it
had made great progress. The Government interfered,
and claimed the right of determining what was heresy,
and what was not."—P. 50. The London and Dublin

ragraph, can this be considered any other than cozenage ?
" Russia and its Catholic subjects.—According to the
Gazette Universelle de Leipsick, the Emperor of all the
Russias has declared war against the Catholics clergy, and
has opened his campaign by withdrawing all the young
Lithuanians from the Catholiccolleges, and by establishing
Imperial schools throughout that province. This explains
the arrest of the Bishop of Wilna."—Herald, May 10, 1838.
" The parish in the Zillerthal of Tyrol, which haviag
embraced the Protestant principles, was ordered by the
Austrian Government to move, when its members applied
to the King of Prussia, who kindly offered them a domain
near Breslau, on which they settled. The King of Prussia
is generally considered the Head of the Protestant Church
of Germany. and he protects it most strenuously. No
gentleman or tidy can hold a situation in the Royal House-
hold, unless their Protestant principles be well known and
proved."—The Sun, No. 14,672.
" Mr. O'Connell is a powerful speaker, a skilful politi-
cian, an able advocate for civil and religious liberty, but
he should not attempt theology."—The Sun, No. 14,672.
That Mr. O'Connell is no " theologian," is a truth which
may amalgamate with Scripture itself; if he were, he
would not be an adherent of the Popedom, Papacy, nor
Prelacy, because of Christianity it is written so clearly,
that every one who runs may read—" Kings shall be its
nursing fathers."

" From the beginning of the Reign of Edward I. to the
end of the Reign of Richard 11. Christendom was divided
by two schisms. The first lasted not long. Clement Fifth
removing the Papal Chair to Avignon, died there in 1314,
and was succeeded by John XXII., who kept his resi-
dence et the same place. This Pope's election was after an
extraordinary manner. The Holy See remaining vacant
about two years after the death of Clement, because
the Cardinals could not agree, they met at Lyons 1316, in
order to choose a Pope. But the same divisions still reigning
among them they agreed to refer the matter to the Cardi-
nal of Ostia, Bishop of Oporto, who, without any suspense,
nominated himself, and took the name of John XXII.
At the same time the empire was divided by a double elec..
tion, ono part of the electors voting for Lewis of Baveria,
and the other for Frederick. Duke of Austria. John's
refusal to acknowledge the first occasioned a quarrel be-
tween them, which continually increased till 1328, when
Lewis, passing into Italy, degraded Pope John, and
and caused Peter de Corbaria, a Cordclicr, to be elected,
who assumed the name of Nicholas V. and resided at
Rome. The anti-Pope being supported by the Emperor
and the General of the Cordeliers, kept his around for
some time. But at last, the Emperor being forced to quit
Italy, and dissension arising among the Cordeliers, Nicho-
las having none to defend him, was taken and carried
Co Avignon, where he asked John's pardon with a halter
about his neck. After this submission he was put into
close confinement, where he died in a few months. The
second schism between Urban VI. and Clement VII. was
more considerable and of longer continuance. I have re-
lated the rise of it in the History of Richard IL, for which
reason I shall only show its effects to the end of the cen-
tury.
"To Pope Urban VI. succeeded, in 1839, Bonifaee IX.
who, as well as Clement, pretended to be desirous to put
an end to the schism ; but nothing was farther from their
intentions. Clement VII., who died at Avignon in 1394,
had for successor Benedict XIII.
"All Christendom being tired and offended at;the:achisaa,
the Court of France endeavoured to persuade the two
Popes to resign their dignity, that another Pope might be
canonically elected. They both consented, but broke
their word. Benedict, especially, used so many evasions
that the King of France resolved to withdraw his kingdoin
from his obedience. For that purpose he gained the Car-
dinals of that party, who promised to desert hire ; but
Benedict, having notice, fortified himself in his palace of
Avignon, by introducing an Arragonian garrison. Ho was
besieged by Marshal Boucicaut, but shortly after, that
General bad orders to raise the siege. Thus, by the in-
trigues of some Princes of the Court of France, the schism
still continued, notwithstanding the King's endeavours to
close it."—Rapin, p. 482.
"0 Lord, thou living God, have mercy upon us I and
destroy this abominable idol of the Mass. In the worship.
ping of Baal, Ashtarotb, Molock, Baal Peor, Melcomb,
Dagon, the Qveen of Heaven, Saturn, Jupiter, Juno,
Venus, Priapus, and such other idols, was never so great
a blasphemy and dishonour to God, as is the setting up of
this broken bread to be worshipped for God."
" If it is net lawful to alter a man's testimony, bow dare
ye to presume to alter and change the blessed testament
and heavenly will of the King of Glory ?"
" Christianity, the kingdom and church of God, have
but one creed, one faith, one hope, and one way ; but human
sects and churches have a variety of creeds, hopes, faiths,
and ways, each suited to its notions, interests, and party, as
ordained by their several heads ; their customs, ordinances,
and creeds all differing from each other, and from the pure
creed of Christ; this also proves that theirs are not Chris-
tianity, but sectarianism, for the creed of Christ, if they
were Christians, would suit them all."
" The gospel of Christ was the echo to the cry of human
nature, and what wonder if it came with softness upon the
conscience of man, wherever conscience and man were
to be found. This was no hazardous or conjectural un-
dertaking—the promise of God was out for it—the glory
of God was concerned in it—the Redeemer himself
had cast the bread upon the waters, and every Chris-
tian would it was trusted throw in his offering, till
the expanding circle became a mighty tide, and every land
was beat on by the saturated wave ; and, then, the Church
of God being illuminated by his word and Spirit, and error
and superstition having vanished for ever, he and others
would cease to be Protestants—there would be nothing to
protest against."—Extracts.
Addition I have embraced the Christian reforatesi
communion, and I have embraced it with faith, confidence

and happiness, because it is not supported by the sword
of the executioner; it does not place the scaffolds and tor.
tures of the. Inquisition beside the cross of Him who came,
not to destroy men, but to save them. I acknowledge that
the violence with which some of its early members have
been reproached, arose from the remains of human preju-
dice, from a habit of domination and double power (eccle-
siastical and civil), front which those men could not at
once free themselves ; but at th• present day this Church
is mild and charitable."

" In this communion "I recognise the true Church of
Jesus Christ, that primitive Church which was restored by
the Gospel at the time of the Reformation."
