" One word more respecting the term
Protestant, and its being applied by Papists to members of the
Church of England. The Papists telt us, that we of the Church of
England are Dissenters from the Church of Rome. From the
commencement of the Christian Church to the time of Constan-
tine, the Church of Christ was pure, it was to that period Apos-
tolic ; but when Constantine turned Christian, he brought into the
Church an inundation of wealth, Paganism, and worldly grandeur,
which like a mighty flood, swept away the truths of Apostolic
Church. Then was the abomination of desolation set up in the

Church Union. A Series of Discourses, in which it is urged
that the great Christian duty, of maintaining communion with the
Apostolical Church, remains uncancelled by the tolerance of British
laws. 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 doctrinal
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,
abrogate the laws of the Gospel, dissolve the union of the Church,
and authorise unlimited separation."—Sermon V. on the Unity of
the Church, p. 109.
" Can we, as Christians, assert that, with regard to us—in favour
of our times—the dispensation has been changed ?No such
assertion can be supported. Where then is that indulgence con-
ceded to tender consciences—that freedom of opinion—that right
of private judgment--which, as some have maintained, extend
their operation over the fundamental articles of faith and doctrine,
over the declared regulation of the Gospel, and authorise the dis-
uniting of the Church of Christ."—P. 138, Ibid.
" Upon the who'e, then, it appears, fn.= a due consideration
of the precepts of our Lord hiinselt and his Apostles, compared
with their example and practice, that Christian charity is not a
principle which disposes us to 'Lase upon all occasions—to sacri-
fice conscience and integrity at the altar of peace—to accommo-
date, or even to countenance, disorder in the nominal professors of
our religion."—P. 196, Sermon IX. On the Sin of Separation.
" 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
Prinees who shall advance the prosperity e the Church."
" But where temporal and spiritual Governors are equally mem-
bers of Christ's Church, the Gospel requires them to co-operate,
each in his station and capacity ; to unite the powers with which
they are lawfully invested, for the promotion of one common
cause."—P. 354.

"If the 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, Law-givers, and Magistrates, the privilege of
being sincere disciples of Christ,
and members of the one Apostoli-
cal Church"—(Even though it is written—Matthew, c. 19, 24
" It is easier for a camel"—read cable' or ' rope'—The New
Testament, printed by Robert Baber, printer to the King, 1611—
"to pass through the eye of a needle," &c.) " And if such they
are, they have, by their profession, 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 bath
given him, to maintain the faith, the order, and the good discipline
of his Church."

" Here all ranks are subjected to one common rule of mutual
dependance and co-operation."
" 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.

SIGHT AND HEARING.

TESTIMONIALS on the MESSRS. S. and B.
SOLOMONS' Newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES
and VOICE CONDUCTOR for deaf persons.
We, the undersigned, have been for some time making •so of the
Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonish-
ing relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided pre-
ference to every other kind of lens—the clearness of the transpa-
rency brings every objeet: very distinct, and enables individuals to
view the most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are par-
ticularly pleasant by candle-light, as they appear cooling to the
sight, and soften bright and brilliant light.

minster; John Elliotson, Esq., F. R.S., Conduit-street; Thos. J.
Pettigrew, Esq., F. R. S., 8, Saville-row ; George G. Sigmond,
Esq., M.D., 24, Dever-street ; Robt. Noble, Esq., Surgeon, 36,
Albemarle-street; William English, Esq., Surgeon, Denmark-
hill ; A. White, Esq., Surgeon, 3, Parliament-street, &e. &c.
The Messrs. SOLOMONS' Voice Conductor for deaf persons is
so small, fits into the cavity of the Ear, not the least perceptible, and
the faintest Whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness.

" Pond- taciturn dolorem continebant."—Lay.
As manhood approaches, the human form, counte-
nance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, rapidly
undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating image
after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure
and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and obstructed, till the exces,
of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of gild and injurious indul
Bence, and the mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fears
disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inex.
pc tended, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of
health, that being only palliated which should have been effectually cured.
Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence
from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease ; and we pledge
ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore to its
wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy, whether from
this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood shall have become
impaired ; equally contemning unfeeling empyricism, which with reckless
ignorance destroys where it should restore; and, on the other hand, that
unworthy " principle" whose proud selfishness increases the embarrass,
meet of the afflicted. All classes of society, not excepting the Anglo
Indian, but more especially such as are about to enter into matrimonial
life, are included in the limits of this address, and to all we confidently
offer the result of many years' successful practice.
