THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S VISITATION

CHARGE.

The second visitation of the Bishop of London to
the clergy of his diocese, took lilac on Thursday, ut
St. Paul's Cathedral.

After the performance of the usual service, and
an appropriate sermon by the Doan of St.
the Bishop of London proceeded to the nave of th,
chord', and was followed by upwards of fifty clergy-
men of the diocess, resit! ng in Londe', and its
neighbourhood, to whoin his Lordship delivered an
address which occupied nearly an hour and a half in
the delivery.
His Lonnsmo, after expreseng his satisfaction at
meeting for the first time the assembled clergymen
of this diocese, over which he hail been called upon
to preside, and adverting to the awful responsibility
of the task which devolved'upon him iu times like
the present of great difficulty and danger, proceeded
to say that the great body of Protestiuit dissenters,
so far from manifesting any symptoms of increased
hostility towards the church, had, on the contrary,
shown a ready dispeaitiott to co-operate with it%
ministers. Another numerous class of persons—
under the influence, it would seem, of that spirit of
improvement by which 'the present age was
dis-
,inguished—eppeare,l ready to propose other rules
and tegulations, for the guidance and govermnent of
the church, than those by which it was at present
regulated. Any attempt on the part of the clergy to
repress this spirit of inquiry would be absurd and tisr-
less. It was important, however, that they should use
their best endeavours to give it a proper direction,
and he need not toll that it should also be the ob-
ject of the clergy to keep pace themselves with the
intellectual advances of the times iii which they
lived. lie did not metal to say that they were to

Rut it was the duty, he maintained, of every minister
of the gospel to teke:tolvaot age of the times, and by
exhortation and example to full! their holy mission.
Taking it for granted that those whom he addressed
were sufficiently alive to the necessity of pursuing
this course, unit that no dAraetiee of opinion could
exist upon the subject among ni,u appointed to
teach the word of Crud, he begged to observe, that.
upon all occasions he would most willingly lend his
tail and influence in assisting his brethien to promote
the rause of Morality und religion; and if open some
occasion he had give'', perhaps, a too Int,ty exprer-
sion of his opinion, he hoped it would be placed to
an earnest desire to do his duty rather than to I.ny
intention of giving offence. Ut this to) his brethreo
